2020 Ssangyong Tivoli LE Auto 1.6L Petrol · LF20 TGE

The 2026-05-13 test at 21,226 miles indicates that the vehicle passed the MOT, but the 2024-05-09 failure on the offside front windshield wiper suggests a recurring mechanical issue requiring immediate attention. While the 2026-05-13 test passed, the 2025-04-30 test was passed, implying a stable maintenance trend, whereas the 2024-05-09 failure represents a significant deterioration in performance. This pattern suggests the vehicle has experienced a recurring problem with the front windscreen wiper assembly that was not addressed in the previous tests, indicating a need for immediate inspection of the suspension and braking components. The mileage history shows a notable gap between the 2026-05-13 test and the 2024-05-09 failure, with the vehicle having accumulated only 14,612 miles between these two dates. This rapid mileage accumulation over a short period, combined with the absence of other defects in the 2026-05-13 test, suggests that the vehicle may have been driven lightly or that the 2025-04-30 test was conducted after the initial maintenance was performed, potentially masking the true extent of wear. While the overall trend appears stable, the specific failure of the wiper indicates that the vehicle is not currently in a safe condition for extended driving without further intervention. A buyer should inspect the vehicle immediately for binding rear brakes, binding calipers, and structural integrity of the suspension bushes, as these components are the most critical areas flagged in the MOT history. Given the failure of the front windscreen wiper, the owner must verify that the brake discs are not corroded and that the suspension bushings are not cracked or loose, as these issues would have been caught in the 2024-05-09 test. If the vehicle is not currently in a safe condition for extended driving, it is advisable to have it inspected by a professional within the next few weeks to assess the status of the suspension and brakes before committing to further driving.
