2018 Ssangyong Tivoli 1.6L Diesel · KK18 ALU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in July 2025 at 98,932 miles resulted in an initial failure due to insufficient washer fluid and two tyres reaching the legal tread depth limit. While the vehicle passed immediately after rectification, the recurring nature of tyre wear issues suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they are flagged by a tester. At 98,932 miles over eight years, this vehicle has averaged approximately 12,366 miles per year, which sits significantly above the national average for a passenger car. The mileage accumulation is consistent between annual tests, with 15,595 miles driven between July 2023 and 2024, and another 17,205 miles covered before the 2025 test. This high usage rate places greater strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to lower-mileage examples of the same model. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension and wheel alignment. The record shows a persistent pattern of tyres wearing on the inner edges, noted in July 2022 at 56,583 miles and again in July 2025 at 98,932 miles. This indicates a likely misalignment issue, worn suspension bushes, or faulty ball joints that will continue to cause premature tyre failure if addressed. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the brake discs for thinning and the caliper condition is also essential, as the history does not mention these components despite the heavy usage profile.
