2018 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Petrol · CT18 DYO

The 2018 Suzuki Ignis presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 5 August 2025 at 33,829 miles. This most recent test recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required roadworthiness standards. The transition from a failed test in July 2023 to consecutive clean passes since August 2023 suggests the previous owner addressed the underlying issue promptly and has maintained the car diligently since. The recorded mileage of 33,829 miles equates to an annual average of roughly 4,229 miles, which is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between the June 2022 test at 20,193 miles and the August 2024 test at 29,724 miles, the car covered 9,531 miles over 26 months, averaging around 4,400 miles per year. The mileage accumulation then slowed significantly, with only 4,105 miles added between August 2024 and August 2025. This pattern points to light, localized use, though prolonged periods of standing can sometimes lead to perishable component degradation like seized brakes or perished rubber hoses. Despite the clean MOT record, the failed test on 24 July 2023 at 25,858 miles warrants attention, even though no specific defects are listed in the provided data. A buyer must inspect the vehicle physically to verify the rectification of whatever caused that initial failure. Given the low annual mileage, focus the inspection on components susceptible to deterioration from infrequent use. Check the brake calipers for binding and the brake discs for surface corrosion. Examine the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots from standing still. Assess the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and inspect the exhaust system and underbody for corrosion that can accelerate when a car sits idle for extended periods.
