2017 Ssangyong Tivoli 1.6L Petrol · SC67 VBE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 67,071 miles identified a minor advisory for play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. While this is a common wear item that does not cause failure, the transition from a clean pass in August 2024 to a failure for incorrect headlamp aim suggests that the owner addresses faults only once they necessitate a repair. At 67,071 miles over nine years, the car has averaged approximately 7,452 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a passenger vehicle. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 15,663 miles covered between the August 2023 and August 2024 tests, and another 12,653 miles covered by July 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of seals and rubber components. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the record shows a 2023 failure at 38,596 miles due to front brake pads below the 1.5mm limit and pitted rear discs. While these were likely replaced or serviced following that failure, a physical inspection should verify the current thickness of the pads and check the calipers for any uneven wear. The 2025 advisory regarding the anti-roll bar linkage indicates the beginning of suspension wear that needs attention, requiring a thorough check of all bushes and ball joints to ensure no further structural play is developing.
