2018 Ssangyong Tivoli 1.6L Diesel · CU68 WYJ

The maintenance trend for this 2018 SsangYong Tivoli remains stable, culminating in a clean pass at 54,833 miles on 13 June 2025. The most recent MOT recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at that time. While the history shows two failed tests in 2023 and 2024, both occurred at the same mileages as their respective passes and curiously list no defects. This pattern suggests the failures likely resulted from procedural issues or aborted tests rather than mechanical faults, as the car passed immediately afterward without recorded rectification work. The mileage accumulation aligns well with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,854 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 41,754 miles and the October 2024 test at 50,750 miles, the car covered 8,996 miles, reflecting consistent use. However, the mileage then plateaued, recording only 4,083 miles over the eight months leading to the June 2025 test. Since the last MOT thirteen months ago, the odometer has remained static at 54,833 miles. This stagnation implies the vehicle has seen very little use recently or has been standing for extended periods. Given the low annual mileage and recent stagnation, a physical inspection must focus on issues arising from light use and standing. Tyres will likely exhibit flat-spotting or perished sidewalls from prolonged sitting. Brake discs may show surface corrosion from lack of use, and calipers could be binding. Suspension bushes and coil springs require close scrutiny for deterioration, as short-trip driving accelerates wear on these components. The exhaust system and structural underpinnings need checking for corrosion, particularly if the car has been stationary in damp conditions. Verify the condition of the auxiliary drive belts and battery health, as infrequent use degrades these parts faster than regular driving.
