SUZUKI IGNIS2002 · 1.3L Petrol

The MOT record for this 2002 Suzuki Ignis shows a consistently clean pass history with no defects recorded across all five tests from March 2022 to February 2026. The most recent test in February 2026 at 10,416 miles confirms the vehicle meets roadworthiness standards with no advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend with no emerging mechanical or structural issues flagged by DVSA testers. The recorded mileage progression is remarkably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 434 miles per year. The odometer readings show a gradual increase from 10,028 miles in March 2022 to 10,416 miles in February 2026, representing only 388 miles over four years. This pattern suggests the car has seen very limited use, likely short local trips or periods of storage. While low mileage reduces wear on drivetrain components, it can lead to issues from infrequent operation, such as moisture in the oil or seized brake calipers. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection focusing on age-related deterioration. Check for structural corrosion, particularly on suspension mounting points and sills, as older Suzuki models can be susceptible to rust. Examine rubber components like suspension bushes, anti-roll bar links, and tyres for cracking or perishing due to age rather than mileage. Brake discs and calipers may show corrosion from standing, and the cooling system should be checked for leaks or sludge. The low mileage does not guarantee mechanical freshness; a vehicle of this age requires careful assessment of all perishable items.
