The 2020 SsangYong Tivoli passes its MOT on the first attempt 84.9% of the time, which is a solid 4.9 percentage points above the UK average—but the concerning part is that 21.5% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, putting it at the upper end of the worry spectrum for safety-critical failures. This suggests that while most examples are reliable, buyers need to be thorough during inspection.
At 27,402 miles on average, these Tivolis are running light for their age, which naturally helps the pass rate, so don't expect the same first-time success rate as mileage climbs toward 50,000 or beyond. The average vehicle racks up 0.67 failures and 3.1 advisories per test, meaning minor wear items crop up regularly but major problems are not the norm—however, get a full pre-purchase inspection and specifically ask the seller about any previous MOT advisories or defect history, because that dangerous-defect figure is genuinely worth checking.
