The SSANGYONG RODIUS (2006-13) 5DR MPV 2.7 XDI 165 SX 7 SEAT AUTO5 is a large, seven-seat MPV rather than an SUV or ordinary family hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it is an uncommon, practical alternative to mainstream people carriers, offering generous space for families and anyone regularly travelling with several passengers. mycarcheck.com has recorded 33 checks covering 26 different vehicles, a useful but modest snapshot. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £2,000 and average recorded mileage of 105,000 miles; typical annual mileage is around 4,000. The cars averaged just over three previous keepers, so buyers should review each vehicle’s history and condition individually. Its diesel engine and automatic gearbox suit family trips, while seven seats make school runs, holidays and journeys easier. Compared with rivals such as the Ford Galaxy, the Rodius stands out for its size and value, though fuel costs and upkeep deserve checking.
