Looking at a Tivoli?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular Tivoli is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Tivoli disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 8,338 in 2023 Q4 and stand at 7,979 in 2026 Q1, down 4%. That is up 16% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 162 are declared SORN — 1 in 50 of the 8,141 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

When it shows up in the statistics

Ssangyong Tivoli first appears in the published DfT series in 2015 Q2. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.

Tivoli MOT pass rate

In 2024, 70.1% of 5,763 Ssangyong Tivoli MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 78.1% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 68.4% aged 6–9 years.

  • Registration Plate Lamp(s) — 7.5% of tests. The light over the number plate is out. A bulb.
  • Condition — 6.4% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
  • Mechanical Brake Components — 4.7% of tests. Worn discs, pads or callipers. Routine wear, but it should be priced into the deal.
  • Brake Performance — 3.7% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
