2017 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Petrol · NV17 AEC

The latest MOT on 1 April 2026 at 42,789 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming the vehicle presently satisfies the statutory roadworthiness criteria. Earlier failures on tyre integrity (2023‑05‑16) and front brake disc wear (2025‑04‑09) have not recurred in the most recent test, indicating a shift from a period of intermittent non‑conformities to a stabilising maintenance pattern. Mileage has risen from 19,730 miles in July 2020 to 42,789 miles in April 2026, an average of roughly 4,700 miles per year for a nine‑year‑old model. The incremental increases of 2,000–3,500 miles between annual tests suggest light, consistent use rather than periods of intensive mileage accumulation. No large gaps in recorded mileage appear, and the low overall figure aligns with a vehicle that has likely spent considerable time idle or driven modestly. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front brake discs, given the 2025‑04‑09 advisory that both nearside and offside discs were worn, pitted or scored. Visual inspection of all four tyres is essential; the record shows repeated front‑tyre damage and rear‑tyre wear close to the legal limit in 2021, so tread depth and sidewall integrity must be confirmed. The 2021‑06‑16 failure noting a fractured nearside front coil spring warrants a check of the suspension system, including coil springs and bushings, for cracks or excessive play. The 2020‑07‑01 note of corroded brake pipe covered in grease suggests the brake lines should be examined for rust and proper sealing. Finally, a thorough look for any emerging corrosion on the chassis or under‑body panels will ensure no hidden structural issues undermine the vehicle’s long‑term reliability.
