What to check when buying a used SSANGYONG TIVOLI

This is an inspection checklist based on MOT comments in the VehicleScore sample. It does not mean the car you are looking at has these defects.

  • Tyre wear. Check the tread depth and look for uneven wear, cracking, or damage on all four tyres.

  • Brake pad wear. Ask for recent pad replacement and look at the remaining pad thickness.

  • Brake disc wear. Look at the disc faces for deep scoring, a lip at the edge, and corrosion.

  • Parking brake faults. Test that the parking brake holds the car on a slope and releases cleanly.

  • Headlamp faults. Switch on dipped and main beam and look for a cloudy lens or a wrong aim.

  • Windscreen damage. Look for chips and cracks, especially in the area swept by the wipers.

  • Indicator faults. Check every indicator, including the side repeaters.

  • Lamp and bulb faults. Switch on the side, brake, fog, and number-plate lamps.

Buying a SSANGYONG TIVOLI?

Common problems tell you what can affect SSANGYONG TIVOLIs generally. VehicleScore can check the history of the actual car you're considering.

Where does this data come from?

VehicleScore analyses MOT histories from vehicles in its own dataset. Sample sizes vary by model, and a small sample is labelled as such. MOT data records roadworthiness and inspection defects. It does not capture every mechanical or electronic problem a car can have, and a comment on one test is not proof that the model has an inherent fault.
