2018 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Petrol · HJ68 AEK

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in September 2025 at 29,344 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the owner has successfully addressed previous mechanical concerns. This clean result follows a period of consistent passing, suggesting the car is currently being maintained to a high technical standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,668 miles annually. There is a significant jump in usage between August 2024 at 15,979 miles and September 2025 at 29,344 miles, representing over 13,000 miles driven in a single year. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals of lower use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or brake system corrosion if not used regularly. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension components identified during the 2022 test at 12,277 miles. The tester flagged severely deteriorated dust covers on both the nearside and offside front anti-roll bar ball joints. Although this was rectified for the subsequent tests, a buyer should verify there is no remaining free play or further wear in these joints to ensure steering remains precise. Given the low mileage, it is also worth checking the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers, which often occur when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods.
