2002 Suzuki Ignis 1.3L Petrol · EX02 AHO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent inspection without any recorded defects. The latest MOT test on 10 July 2024 at 119,985 miles followed a failure just one day prior at the same mileage reading, which suggests the owner or dealer was proactive in addressing a minor rectification issue to meet test standards immediately. The lack of advisories across the last three passes indicates that the vehicle is currently maintained in good mechanical condition despite its age. At approximately 24 years old, the recorded mileage of 119,985 miles is remarkably low, averaging roughly 5,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with 3,418 miles covered between July 2022 and July 2023, and another 2,966 miles between July 2023 and 2024. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of material degradation in rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Suzuki vehicles are prone to corrosion that may not always manifest until it becomes significant. Given the low annual mileage, inspect the suspension bushes and rubber seals for cracking or perished material caused by age rather than use. It is also necessary to check the brake calipers for seizing or pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust on the discs and internal corrosion within the braking system.
