2022 Suzuki Ignis SZ5 Dualjet Mhev 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · DP22 FCA

This Suzuki Ignis has passed its most recent MOT test on 2025-07-22 at precisely 24,710 miles, with no defects recorded. The absence of advisories or failures in the single available test suggests the vehicle has met the minimum roadworthiness standards at that point. However, the lack of prior MOT history means there is no data to assess whether this represents a stable maintenance trend, a sudden improvement, or an extended period of neglect before this test. The 2025 test date is just under a year old as of July 2026, which is within the standard MOT validity window, but the sparse record limits confidence in long-term reliability. Buyers should treat this as a baseline rather than a comprehensive history. The recorded mileage of 24,710 miles over approximately four years—roughly 6,178 miles annually—falls within the typical range for a vehicle of this age. There are no gaps or spikes in mileage to suggest prolonged storage or aggressive use, though the absence of earlier MOTs prevents verification of whether this consistent low mileage has been maintained throughout the vehicle’s life. Without intermediate service records, it is impossible to determine if critical maintenance—such as suspension servicing, brake fluid changes, or timing belt inspections—has been performed at manufacturer-recommended intervals. The low mileage does reduce the likelihood of excessive wear on high-mileage components, but it does not guarantee that all serviceable items have been attended to. Given the single clean MOT pass, the most prudent areas for an in-person inspection would focus on components that commonly fail or degrade without regular maintenance. The brakes should be examined for uneven wear, binding calipers, or excessive corrosion on the discs and callipers, particularly if the vehicle has been exposed to moisture. The suspension should be checked for worn or leaking bushes, damaged coil springs, or excessive play in the steering rack, as these issues often develop gradually and may not have been detected in a basic MOT. Structural integrity is another critical factor—inspect the wheel arches, sills, and subframe for signs of corrosion or damage, as MOT testers do not always probe for hidden structural weaknesses. Finally, the hybrid/electric components (if applicable) should be assessed for any warning lights or unusual behaviour, though these are less likely to be captured in a standard MOT. Given the lack of historical context, a thorough pre-purchase inspection is strongly advised.
