2015 Ssangyong Tivoli 1.6L Petrol · KE15 ACJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-11-17 at 60,383 miles showing no defects. Maintenance trends indicate stability over the past three years, as all tests from 2022 to 2025 passed without issues. However, a failed MOT on 2023-12-21 at 47,229 miles—despite no recorded defects—raises questions about procedural accuracy or unreported concerns. The absence of recurring faults in subsequent tests suggests no ongoing mechanical deterioration, but the 2023 failure warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 60,383 miles at 11 years old equates to an average of 5,489 miles annually, significantly below typical usage. This low mileage may indicate infrequent use or prolonged storage, which can accelerate component degradation through corrosion or fluid stagnation. Notably, the car accumulated 6,478 miles between 2024-11-20 (53,905 miles) and 2025-11-17 (60,383 miles), a rate consistent with regular driving. However, the 2023-12-21 test at 47,229 miles followed a 7,958-mile increase from 2022-12-20 (39,271 miles), suggesting potential periods of inactivity between 2022 and 2023. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear exacerbated by low-mileage inactivity. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or corrosion, as stagnant fluid or lack of use can compromise performance. The exhaust system and structural integrity require scrutiny, as prolonged storage may lead to rust or hidden damage. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the 2023-12-21 anomaly and low mileage pattern necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
