The SSANGYONG RODIUS (2006-13) 5DR MPV 2.7 XDI 165 270 TAXI AUTO5 is a big, practical diesel MPV, rather than a conventional car or SUV. Its roomy cabin and automatic gearbox make it suited to carrying families, luggage or passengers for taxi and private-hire work. In the UK it remains a relatively uncommon, value-focused choice. mycarcheck.com has recorded just two checks, covering two different VINs, so its figures offer a small snapshot rather than a market-wide picture. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £1,500, average recorded mileage of 129,000 miles, around 2,000 miles driven annually and two previous keepers. That points to examples often used lightly recently, though condition and history matter greatly. Distinctive styling and space distinguish it from rivals such as the Ford Galaxy and Renault Espace. Its diesel suits passenger work, though costs may exceed smaller MPVs. A Rodius offers capacity on a tight budget.
