About this model
The KGM Tivoli, previously SsangYong Tivoli, is a subcompact SUV made by the KG Mobility. The Tivoli was SsangYong's first new model under Mahindra & Mahindra ownership. It is named after the Italian town of Tivoli, Lazio, and was chosen because it can be read as "I lov[e] it" in reverse.

What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2016 1.6 diesel. 302 of 1,508 tests failed, 20%.
Better than 10% of 2016 cars. The typical one fails 13%, across 899 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Brakes | 43% | 130 |
| Tyres and wheels | 37% | 113 |
| Lights and electrics | 24% | 71 |
| Visibility | 20% | 60 |
| Exhaust and emissions | 13% | 39 |
| Suspension | 12% | 36 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A tyre seriously damaged
- A rear registration plate lamp or light source missing or inoperative in the case of a single lamp or all lamps
- Windscreen washers not working or not providing sufficient fluid to clear the windscreen
- A brake lining or pad worn below 1.5mm
- Engine MIL illuminated indicating a malfunction
- Parking brake efficiency below minimum requirement
Where it stands out against its peers
- Brakes: failed more often than 92% of 2016 cars — 43% of its 302 failed tests, where an ordinary 2016 car has 23%.
Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.
NHTSA's investigations are American; no European regulator publishes an equivalent record, so this section has nothing to draw on for a European car. There is no European equivalent of the service-bulletin register either.

When it starts failing
At 100–120k miles this one fails 23% of its inspections, against the 19% an ordinary car of the same age fails.
| Odometer | Failure rate | Rate | Its age | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0–20k miles | 12% | 6% | 58 | |
| 20–40k miles | 14% | 10% | 349 | |
| 40–60k miles | 22% | 13% | 618 | |

1,482 British inspections, grouped by the odometer reading recorded at the test.
Half of these have more than 40k miles on them. That is how far people drive this car, not how long it lasts.
