2016 Ssangyong Tivoli 1.6L Diesel · AH05 AFC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 3 June 2025 at 68,567 miles showing a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a period of minor consumable issues, suggesting a trend of reactive maintenance rather than systemic mechanical failure. The absence of advisories in the latest inspection indicates that previous minor faults have been addressed, leaving the vehicle in a currently compliant state. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical low-to-mid usage pattern for a 2016 vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 28,354 miles in February 2019 to 68,567 miles in June 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing intervals or sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest long periods of inactivity or heavy commercial use. This predictable usage pattern generally reduces the likelihood of extreme wear on the drivetrain and engine components. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension components. The April 2024 test at 67,238 miles flagged a worn rear sub-frame pin or bush, and while it passed, this component often requires replacement as wear progresses. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection of the sub-frame mounting points and the condition of the rubber bushes is advisable to ensure no further movement has developed. The history also shows recurring minor electrical and wiper issues, such as the inoperative registration plate lamps noted in February 2023 and February 2020. While these are simple fixes, they indicate a pattern of neglecting minor consumables. The tester also noted thin front brake pads in February 2020 and tyre perishing in February 2022. A thorough check of the current brake disc thickness, pad remaining life, and the age of the tyres is necessary to confirm that basic maintenance has remained up to date since those specific flags.
