2002 Suzuki Ignis 1.3L Petrol · EX02 AHU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2026 at 126,676 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have been maintained well enough to avoid recurring failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twenty-four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,278 miles annually. Between May 2022 and February 2026, the car covered 14,741 miles, which represents a relaxed usage rate. However, the two-year gap between the February 2024 and May 2022 tests suggests a period of significant stationary time. Such low annual mileage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and brakes but can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals due to lack of heat and mechanical movement. Despite the clean recent MOT records, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on the chassis for structural corrosion, as older Suzuki Ignis models of this era are prone to rust in the sills and rear wheel arches. Given the low mileage, the inspector should check the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or perish rot caused by age rather than wear. The brake system should also be tested for seized or binding calipers, as vehicles that sit for long periods frequently develop internal corrosion on the discs and cylinders.
