Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When viewing this 1.2L petrol model, prioritize reviewing the service history to ensure the engine has been serviced at regular intervals, as MOT records only confirm roadworthiness, not mechanical maintenance. Check the white paintwork for common city-driving scuffs or stone chips on the bonnet.
Negotiate based on the upcoming service requirements or tyre tread depths, as these are common consumables for this model. Given the 2025 failure for brake pads and a coil spring, verify that these parts were replaced with quality components and check for any corresponding invoices in the vehicle's paperwork.
The 1242cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption and falling into a favorable insurance group for new or experienced drivers. Annual road tax for this year and engine variant is generally low, contributing to its appeal as an economical urban runaround.
Maintenance costs for the Ignis are typically modest, though owners should budget for periodic suspension and tyre replacements. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, is approximately £900-£1,200 depending on annual mileage.
Pay close attention to the front suspension and coil springs; while the 2025 failure for a fractured offside front coil spring was resolved, it is a known weak point for this model. Check for any uneven tyre wear or suspension knocks during a test drive, as suspension arms are a top failure reason across the wider Ignis population.
Inspect the brake pads for current thickness and check the condition of the windscreen wipers, as these are frequently cited in aggregate MOT failure data for this model. Ensure the brakes feel responsive and do not pull to one side during deceleration.
This 2018 white Suzuki Ignis has recorded 54,372 miles as of its last MOT in March 2026. The vehicle has a consistent testing history with four passes and one failure in April 2025. The data indicates a vehicle that has been used regularly but generally meets safety standards without recurring defects.
The Suzuki Ignis demonstrates a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 83.1% across nearly 25,000 analysed vehicles.
