2006 Suzuki Ignis 1.3L Petrol · CU06 AUH

The 2006 Suzuki Ignis presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT on 2025-10-15 at 75,407 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. The prior test on 2025-10-14, just one day earlier, was a fail but also noted no defects. This pattern of alternating pass/fail outcomes without recorded issues suggests potential administrative errors or minor non-roadworthy failures, such as lighting or emissions, that did not trigger defect classifications. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows no significant mechanical or structural concerns in the last two years, with all tests at 68,809 and 67,652 miles also recording passes and no defects. The car’s mileage of 75,407 miles over 20 years equates to approximately 3,770 miles annually, which is below average for its age. Notably, the 2024-10-17 test at 68,809 miles was followed by a 6,598-mile increase to 75,407 miles within 12 months, indicating a sudden spike in usage. This jump may reflect seasonal or occasional use rather than consistent driving, which could affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers if left stationary for extended periods. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the MOT records is positive, but low mileage over two decades raises questions about potential dry-running components or degraded seals. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden wear. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, particularly given the vehicle’s age. The exhaust system and underbody should be scrutinised for rust, as prolonged inactivity may accelerate corrosion. While the MOT history lacks critical defects, the alternating pass/fail results and irregular mileage pattern warrant a pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity and identify any latent issues not captured in the records.
