2021 Suzuki Ignis SZ-T Dualjet Mhev CVT 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · MW21 AGO

The Suzuki Ignis in question demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record with no defects recorded across its most recent two MOT tests, both of which passed without fail. The most recent inspection on 23 May 2025, at just 4,518 miles, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards for brakes, emissions, and structural integrity. There is no evidence of recurring advisories or unresolved faults, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level without significant neglect. However, the lack of defects does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the unusually low mileage. The recorded mileage of 4,518 miles over five years—approximately 904 miles annually—is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age and type. This pattern suggests either very light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could accelerate wear on components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers due to lack of motion. The gap between tests, spanning exactly one year each time, aligns with the standard MOT interval, but the absence of mileage accumulation raises questions about how the vehicle has been stored or driven. Such low mileage does not inherently indicate poor maintenance, but it may imply deferred servicing or deferred replacement of consumables like tyres, which could now be approaching their limits. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus of an in-person inspection should be the suspension system, particularly the condition of the bushes and coil springs, which may have degraded from prolonged static loading. The brakes, while not flagged in the MOT, should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stored with brakes applied. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns are critical—failing twice on tread in a similar vehicle would suggest basic upkeep was overlooked, so verify the current tread remains above the legal 1.6mm limit. Finally, check for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as low mileage does not preclude environmental damage over time. The absence of MOT defects does not guarantee all components are in optimal condition.
