SsangYong Rexton — MOT Reliability Overview

The SsangYong Rexton has an average MOT pass rate of 68.8%, which is 8.2 percentage points below the SsangYong brand average of 76.9%. This is a reasonable result that reflects typical UK reliability standards. Regular servicing and addressing advisories promptly will help keep your Rexton on the road.

The most common reasons a SsangYong Rexton fails its MOT are vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is seriously reduced, a suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn, an obligatory rear fog lamp missing, or a front or rear fog lamp inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning. If you are preparing your Rexton for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.

Before buying a used SsangYong Rexton, we recommend checking the full MOT history, write-off status, outstanding finance, and stolen vehicle status. These checks can be done for free using the registration number.
