2003 Suzuki Ignis 1.3L Petrol · AV53 BUE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, following a clean pass on January 31, 2025 at 109,515 miles. This recent test recorded no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and environmental standards. While the history shows two instances of test failure, the subsequent passes without any advisories suggest that the previous owner addressed identified issues promptly and maintained the vehicle in a functional mechanical state. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 23-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,760 miles per year. However, a significant surge in usage occurred between February 2024 and January 2025, where the car covered over 14,000 miles in under eleven months. Prior to this, the vehicle sat for much longer periods, with only 900 miles recorded between August 2023 and February 2024. Such intermittent use often leads to degradation of rubber components, seized brake calipers, and flat-spotted tyres, despite the low total odometer reading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and lower suspension components, as the Ignis of this era is prone to corrosion in the sills and wheel arches. Given the recent high-mileage stint after a long period, inspect the shock absorbers for leaks and the bushes for signs of cracking or tearing. Although the record lacks specific mechanical advisories, a thorough check of the brake discs for pitting is necessary to ensure the long periods of stationary use have not caused uneven wear or surface damage.
