2019 Ssangyong Tivoli 1.6L Petrol · ET69 ODW

The most recent MOT test on 26 September 2025 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, though with two minor but recurring issues: a near-side front brake disc showing pitting and scoring, and a near-side rear tyre exhibiting sidewall cracking and uneven wear with flat spots. These faults suggest the vehicle has not undergone a full brake system overhaul or tyre replacement cycle, as the disc condition indicates prolonged use without resurfacing or replacement, while the tyre damage implies either neglect or repeated exposure to underinflation or aggressive cornering. The 2024 tests reveal a pattern of minor electrical and parking brake concerns, though these were not repeated in the latest pass, indicating either rectification or a non-critical fault. Overall, the trend is stable but leans towards deferred maintenance, particularly in brake and tyre components. Mileage progression shows consistent annual usage, averaging around 9,000 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in the record, though the 2023 to 2024 interval (9,681 miles in a year) is slightly higher than the subsequent period. This suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly without prolonged periods of inactivity, which could mitigate some wear concerns like suspension deterioration or corrosion. The absence of a pre-2022 MOT record makes it impossible to assess long-term patterns, but the data available does not indicate aggressive mileage accumulation or extended periods of disuse. A prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the brake system, particularly the near-side front disc and caliper assembly, to confirm there is no hidden corrosion or binding. The uneven rear tyre wear and sidewall damage warrant immediate replacement, as these conditions pose a risk of sudden failure. The 2022 and 2024 advisories on registration plate lamps and parking brake reserve travel should also be verified, as these could indicate broader electrical or mechanical issues. Suspension components—especially bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers—should be examined for wear, given the vehicle’s age and mileage, while the windscreen wiper failure from 2024 may signal a need for replacement or adjustment. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be checked for corrosion, as this is a common failure point in vehicles of this age.
