2017 Ssangyong Tivoli 1.6L Diesel · MF67 PPV

This SSangYong Tivoli has maintained a consistently clean MOT history, passing every annual test without defects or advisories since 2021. The most recent inspection on 2025-09-22 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns. The absence of advisories across five consecutive tests suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, if not rigorous, servicing—though this cannot be confirmed without service records. The pattern indicates stability rather than deterioration, though the low mileage complicates traditional wear-and-tear expectations. The recorded mileage of 33,836 miles over nine years—approximately 3,760 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Tivoli’s typical usage patterns. There are no gaps in MOT testing, with each annual test occurring within the required 12-month window, and no sudden spikes in mileage between tests. This suggests the car has either been lightly used or stored for extended periods, which may have mitigated some wear but could also indicate neglect of fluid changes or minor maintenance tasks. The lack of mileage variation makes it difficult to assess whether components like suspension bushes or brake pads have been replaced proactively. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear items that aren’t directly tested during MOTs. The suspension—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are critical for ride quality and handling but often fall outside MOT scrutiny. Brake systems, including caliper binding, uneven pad thickness, and disc warping, warrant close examination, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for prolonged periods, as brake fluid degradation can occur even with low mileage. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be inspected for corrosion, as the Tivoli’s bodywork is prone to rust in wet conditions. Finally, the exhaust system’s integrity and emissions compliance should be verified, as catalytic converter failures can occur without obvious external signs.
