2021 Suzuki Ignis SZ5 Dualjet Mhev 1.2L Hybrid electric · DX21 OUA

The Suzuki Ignis presents a stable and largely positive roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 21 January 2026 at 29,368 miles. The maintenance trend is currently stable, though the most recent test introduces a minor deviation from the previous two flawless inspections. In the January 2026 test, the tester flagged both the Nearside and Offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and wearing on the edge. This indicates a developing issue with front tyre wear, likely pointing to a need for wheel alignment or tracking correction, rather than a sudden mechanical failure. The vehicle has no recorded structural, suspension, or braking defects across its entire history. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,874 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 17,720 miles in February 2024 to 24,071 miles in February 2025, representing a gain of 6,351 miles over that twelve-month period. This suggests the vehicle saw slightly more frequent use during that interval, which is consistent with the front tyre wear noted in the subsequent January 2026 test. The gap between the February 2025 and January 2026 tests covers nearly a full year, yet the mileage only increased by 5,297 miles, confirming the low annual usage pattern. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry carefully. The uneven edge wear on both front tyres strongly suggests the tracking is out of specification, a common issue on the Ignis if the vehicle has encountered potholes or kerbs. While the rear brakes and suspension have not attracted any advisories, the low mileage means the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary. This can cause brake discs to surface with corrosion and calipers to stick, so a test drive should specifically check for binding brakes and uneven braking. The exhaust and structural underbody should also be inspected for surface corrosion, as short-journey use accelerates moisture accumulation and underbody degradation.
