2019 Suzuki Ignis SZ-T Dualjet Shvs 1.2L Hybrid electric · DP69 DUU

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-03 recorded two rear tyres with "slightly damaged/cracking or perishing" and "perishing in tread slightly." This mirrors identical findings in the 2024-11-05 MOT, which also noted "Rear Tyre slightly damaged/cracking or perishing Both." These recurring tyre issues suggest a persistent problem, likely related to age or storage conditions rather than active wear. The 2024-11-05 MOT also included a failure for the offside front windscreen wiper not clearing the windscreen, but this was resolved by the 2025 MOT. The pattern of tyre perishing has remained consistent across multiple MOTs, indicating a lack of resolution. While the 2025 MOT shows no new defects beyond the tyres, the repeated mention of this issue implies a potential risk of further deterioration. No other safety-critical faults have been recorded in the last five years, aside from the 2024 wiper failure. The vehicle’s low mileage (20,635 miles over seven years) suggests infrequent use or long periods of inactivity, which can accelerate tyre aging and rubber degradation. The mileage relative to age is notably low, averaging 2,948 miles annually. This could reflect light usage, but it also raises concerns about potential under-use, such as prolonged parking, which may lead to component stiffness or fluid stagnation. However, the MOT history shows no evidence of major mechanical wear, such as suspension, brake, or drivetrain issues. The absence of defects in 2023 and 2022 MOTs indicates a period of stable condition before the tyre issues emerged.
