2016 Ssangyong Tivoli 1.6L Petrol · CU16 RXC

The vehicle presents an entirely stable maintenance trend, demonstrating consistent roadworthiness across its recorded history. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 17,078 miles passed with zero defects, mirroring the clean bills of health issued annually since 2022. This unblemished record indicates a car that has required no mechanical corrections or component replacements to meet MOT standards, suggesting diligent upkeep by the previous keeper. Evaluating the mileage against its age reveals exceptionally low usage, averaging roughly 1,700 miles per year over the last decade. The annual MOT readings show a declining rate of accumulation rather than a spike. Between February 2022 and February 2023, the odometer advanced by 1,032 miles, but the subsequent three tests recorded increments of just 527, 353, and 361 miles respectively. Such minimal yearly distances point to a vehicle used almost exclusively for short, local journeys, which carries its own specific mechanical implications. Despite the flawless MOT record, the extremely low mileage and short-trip usage pattern warrant a focused physical inspection. Buyers should scrutinise the condition of the brake discs and calipers, as infrequent use often leads to surface corrosion and binding rather than even wear. The tyres must be checked closely for sidewall perishing and date codes, as rubber degrades with age and lack of use long before the tread wears down. Suspension bushes and coil springs may also suffer from sitting static for extended periods, so a thorough assessment of the undercarriage for deterioration is advisable.
