SUZUKI IGNIS SZ-T DUALJET SHVS2020 · 1.2L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2025-06-23, with no defects recorded at 23,869 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, with no failures or advisories in the last two tests, indicating consistent upkeep and no emerging mechanical or structural issues. The absence of defects in the 2025 tests suggests the owner has addressed prior concerns and maintained the car to a standard that meets current roadworthiness requirements. Mileage progression shows a low annual average of approximately 3,978 miles over six years, which is notably conservative for a 2020 model. The gap between the 2024-01-29 test (21,386 miles) and the 2025-06-23 test (23,869 miles) spans 17 months and covers just 2,483 miles, suggesting minimal usage during that period. This pattern may reflect either light driving or extended periods of inactivity, which can affect suspension bushes, brake calipers, and battery health. The record is clean and consistent, with no signs of rapid wear or neglect. The only prior defect noted was tyre degradation in early 2024, with both front tyres flagged for cracking or perishing — a common wear issue on low-mileage vehicles that may have been accelerated by storage or infrequent use. No suspension, steering, or structural corrosion issues were recorded in any test, and brake systems passed without comment. However, a buyer should inspect the front suspension bushes and brake calipers for binding or stiffness, as these components can seize or degrade during long periods of inactivity. Also check the condition of the rear suspension coil springs and exhaust system for signs of rust or fatigue, especially if the car has been parked outdoors. Given the low mileage and clean MOT history since 2023, the vehicle is likely mechanically sound and well cared for. Still, the buyer should verify the condition of the tyres, brake fluid, and battery, as these are the most vulnerable components under low-use conditions. A pre-purchase inspection focusing on suspension alignment and brake operation will confirm whether the car remains in the same condition as reported in the MOT records.
