2018 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · EY58 ORE

The Suzuki Ignis has maintained a consistent MOT pass history with no recorded defects across all four tests, most recently passing on 16 May 2025 at just 8,929 miles. This clean record suggests the vehicle has undergone regular compliance checks without major mechanical or structural failings, though the absence of advisories or minor faults means some wear items—such as suspension bushes, brake pads, or corrosion—may have gone unnoticed. The most recent test, just over a year ago, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the short interval between tests (12 months) aligns with the standard MOT cycle rather than any proactive maintenance pattern. The recorded mileage of 8,929 miles at the latest test indicates exceptionally low annual usage, averaging around 1,116 miles per year over the past eight years. This suggests the vehicle has either been lightly driven or stood unused for extended periods, which can accelerate certain forms of degradation, particularly in fluids, tyres, and rubber components. Notably, there are no gaps in MOT testing beyond the standard 12-month intervals, and the mileage increments between tests remain steady—ranging from 954 to 1,454 miles per year—without sudden spikes that might indicate intensive use or neglect. The lack of advisories in any test further implies no urgent repairs were deferred, though this does not preclude hidden issues in non-tested areas. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components not routinely assessed during the test. The low mileage makes fluid degradation a concern: check brake fluid for moisture contamination, service the engine oil and filter, and inspect the coolant system for corrosion or leaks. Suspension components, including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, should be examined for wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has spent periods stationary. Tyre wear patterns warrant scrutiny—despite no MOT failures, uneven tread could indicate alignment issues or prolonged underinflation. Finally, inspect for corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and underbody, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust formation in susceptible areas. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound.
