2020 SSANGYONG TIVOLI1.6L Petrol

The 2020 SSangYong Tivoli’s most recent MOT history, concluded just five months ago on 2025-12-04, reveals a stable roadworthiness trend with no defects recorded across multiple tests. The vehicle passed both the primary and supplementary tests at the same mileage (67,208), though the duplicate entries suggest a procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. No advisories or failings were logged in the June 2025 or December 2024 tests either, indicating the tester did not identify any recurring or latent faults in brakes, suspension, emissions, or structural integrity during those intervals. However, the lack of advisories—even minor ones—means critical components like coil springs, suspension bushes, or binding calipers were not flagged for closer inspection, though this does not preclude hidden wear. The mileage progression of 11,201 miles annually is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the gap between tests varies. The largest interval, 10,951 miles, occurred between the June 2024 (29,416 miles) and December 2024 (39,967 miles) tests, which is within the standard 12-month window but suggests the vehicle was driven steadily rather than stored. The subsequent 10,051 miles between December 2024 and June 2025, followed by another 17,292 miles to the latest test, implies no prolonged periods of inactivity. This pattern aligns with responsible maintenance, as extended storage could accelerate corrosion or fluid degradation. Given the absence of failings or advisories, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear items not automatically covered by MOT standards. Focus on the suspension—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—for signs of cracking or excessive play, as these are often overlooked in basic tests. The brake system, including rear caliper binding and front disc thickness, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been driven in wet conditions. Examine the underbody for corrosion around the sills, subframe, and exhaust mounts, as rust in these areas can compromise structural integrity. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or damaged hangers, as emissions-related faults were not recorded but could develop over time. The lack of advisories does not guarantee these components are flawless, only that they passed the tester’s cursory examination.
