2019 Suzuki Ignis SZ-T Dualjet Shvs 1.2L Hybrid electric · AE69 LLV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed the MOT on 11 June 2026 at 41,994 miles, this followed a failure just five days prior. That previous failure flagged a nearside front oil leak, exhaust lambda emissions issues, and multiple critical tyre defects. The recurring nature of these faults suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they prevent an MOT test pass, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 41,994 miles represents an average of approximately 6,000 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension, yet the data shows a significant spike in activity. Between May 2024 and June 2026, the vehicle covered over 17,000 miles in two years, indicating a recent shift to heavier use. This sudden burst of mileage, combined with the frequent failures for exposed cords and perished perished rubber, explains the rapid degradation of consumable components like tyres and wipers. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the nearside front area to determine the extent of the oil leak noted in June 2026. Although the tester deemed it not excessive, persistent leaks on a low-mileage engine can indicate gasket or seal failures that may eventually worsen. The lambda sensor failure in 2026 also warrants a check of the exhaust system and fuel economy, as poor emissions readings often point to catalytic converter health. Furthermore, the consistent history of tyres worn to the edges across multiple axles suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that need to be addressed to prevent premature wear of new tyres.
