2007 Suzuki Ignis 1.3L Petrol · BG57 ADO

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent pass on 15 November 2025 at 130,742 miles. The absence of advisories or defects in the most recent test suggests that previous issues have been resolved. While the record shows two failures in 2023 and 2024, these appear to be isolated incidents rather than a worsening trend of mechanical neglect. The fact that the vehicle passed immediately following these failures indicates that the necessary remedial work was completed to meet minimum standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,881 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 126,992 miles in August 2023 to 130,742 miles in November 2025. This incremental increase suggests regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of stationary storage or excessive high-speed motorway driving. The 1,000-mile gap between the September 2024 failure and the subsequent pass suggests the vehicle was driven enough to identify and rectify faults within a reasonable timeframe. A physical inspection should focus on the areas typically associated with the failures seen in the 2023 and 2024 tests. Although the specific failure reasons were not detailed in the provided record, the pattern of failing and then passing suggests issues with consumables or minor mechanical adjustments. You should specifically examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and the condition of the brake discs and calipers to ensure no binding or excessive corrosion has developed. Given the vehicle's age of 19 years, the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes is a primary concern. While the MOT record shows no current defects, older Suzuki Ignis models can be prone to corrosion in the rear suspension mounting points and sills. A thorough check of the underside for significant rust or structural degradation is necessary to supplement the clean MOT history.
