2018 Ssangyong Tivoli 1.6L Petrol · KT18 JWC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 8 June 2026 at 66,117 miles passed but introduced several advisories regarding consumable components that were previously absent. The presence of thin front brake pads and a nearside rear tyre reaching the legal wear limit indicates that the owner is only addressing mechanical issues once they approach MOT failure thresholds rather than replacing them during scheduled service intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,265 miles per year. Between the July 2023 test at 40,057 miles and the June 2024 test at 48,187 miles, the car covered roughly 8,130 miles, showing steady usage. The subsequent jump of 17,930 miles between June 2024 and June 2026 suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent premature corrosion of suspension and braking components. A buyer should personally inspect the braking system closely, as the record shows a recurring issue with thin pads and a previous note regarding worn discs at 48,186 miles. The latest advisory for a perishing or damaged nearside rear tyre suggests the rubber may be aging faster than the tread justifies, despite the relatively low mileage. Given the 2024 failure for an inoperative washer and registration lamp, a thorough functional check of all exterior electrics is necessary to ensure these basic items have not been neglected again.
