What this means if you are buying a 2019 Musso

The 2019 is a weaker year for this model, passing 2 points less often than the Ssangyong Musso average. Some of that is simply age, so compare it against the 2019 figure for all cars above rather than against newer examples. Check the exact car with the free MOT history checker before you buy, and run its VIN and mileage through our free VIN decoder and clocking check.

What a 7-year-old car fails on

A 2019 car is 7 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:

  • Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
  • Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
  • Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
  • Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
  • Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
  • Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested

That is around average, so condition and service history will tell you more than the odometer does. On a 2019 Ssangyong Musso the average at test was 59,144 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.

The strongest year for this model is 2020 at 75.4%, and the weakest in our data is 2017 at 63.7%. That 11.7 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2019 car against a newer one tells you very little.
