2007 Suzuki Ignis 1.3L Petrol · AP57 ACO

The 2007 Suzuki Ignis demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT test on 2025-03-05, which resulted in a pass at 117,259 miles with no defects recorded. However, the same date includes a prior failure at the same mileage, suggesting potential unresolved issues or administrative anomalies. Subsequent tests from 2024 and 2023 also passed without defects, indicating consistent maintenance practices. The absence of structural or mechanical failures in the recorded history implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the 2025 failure raises questions about compliance or procedural errors. The vehicle’s mileage of 117,259 miles over 19 years aligns with an average of 6,172 miles annually, a typical figure for its age. The MOT intervals show irregularity, with the 2023 test at 100,817 miles followed by a 2024 test at 107,783 miles (7,000 miles later) and a 2025 test at 117,259 miles (9,500 miles later). This suggests sporadic testing rather than a strict schedule, which could indicate inconsistent maintenance. No significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes are evident, and the lack of defects in passes implies no critical wear or corrosion was identified. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often degrade with age and mileage. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these issues can arise without immediate MOT failures. Structural integrity, especially underbody corrosion, warrants attention due to the vehicle’s age, even though no rust-related defects were recorded. The absence of exhaust emissions failures in the history is positive, but a physical check of the exhaust system is advisable to confirm no hidden leaks or damage.
