2015 Ssangyong Tivoli 1.6L Petrol · KE15 AED

The 2015 SSangYong Tivoli has maintained a clean MOT history across four consecutive tests, all passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 2025-06-02 at 22,954 miles confirms no mechanical or structural failings, though the absence of advisories does not preclude underlying wear—particularly in high-wear components like suspension bushes or brake calipers. The consistent pass status suggests the vehicle has been subjected to either diligent maintenance or minimal use, but the lack of recorded advisories over 7,442 miles since the last test means no red flags have been formally noted by the tester. The recorded mileage of 22,954 miles over 11 years—approximately 2,087 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, indicating either infrequent use or prolonged periods of storage. The gaps between tests are regular, with roughly 18-month intervals between each MOT, and no sudden spikes in mileage between inspections. While low mileage can imply less wear on critical systems, it also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been driven enough to stress components like suspension or drivetrain, potentially masking hidden deterioration. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension integrity, focusing on coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers for dry rot or excessive play. The brakes—though never failed—should be checked for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs, as advisory-level issues might have been overlooked. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, warrants close examination, especially if the vehicle has spent time in wet or coastal environments. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound, so visual and functional checks are essential. Engine bay fluids should also be verified for leaks or contamination, as these are not routinely tested in MOTs.
