2016 Ssangyong Tivoli 1.6L Diesel · SW65 PXE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 4 June 2026 at 73,258 miles saw the car fail initially due to an offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint failure and multiple brake pipe corrosion issues. While it passed a re-test just five days later, the presence of corroded brake pipes covered in grease suggests a lack of attention to the undercarriage and potential neglect of routine cleaning or lubrication. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 55,975 miles and June 2026 at 73,258 miles, the car covered roughly 17,000 miles, showing steady and predictable use. This low annual mileage generally suggests less wear on drivetrain components, but the recurring failures of rubber components and metal lines indicate that the vehicle may have sat stationary or been neglected between service intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The record shows persistent corrosion on brake pipes dating back to 2025, which persisted into the 2026 failure; these lines should be checked for thinning or structural degradation. The failure of the offside front anti-roll bar linkage in 2026 and the noisy offside rear wheel bearing in 2023 suggest that suspension components are reaching the end of their service life. The history of tyres reaching the legal limit in 2023 and 2024 indicates the owner only replaces consumables when an MOT failure is imminent rather than following a proactive maintenance schedule.
