2017 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Petrol · GU17 HMZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 1 August 2025 at 28,246 miles showing a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows two consecutive years of clean passes in 2024 and 2023. While the vehicle experienced several failures between 2021 and 2023, the maintenance trend has moved from reactive repairs of consumable items to a consistent pattern of passing without advisories. The mileage recorded is exceptionally low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 3,138 miles per year. The data shows a steady, gradual increase in distance travelled, moving from 20,305 miles in August 2021 to 28,246 miles in August 2025. This low-use pattern suggests the vehicle has likely been used for short, infrequent journeys rather than heavy motorway commuting. Such usage can sometimes lead to accelerated wear on certain components due to lack of regular operating temperature, though the MOT history does not currently indicate any mechanical distress. Historical failures suggest a pattern of neglecting basic consumable maintenance. Between 2021 and 2023, the tester repeatedly flagged worn tyres, perishing rubber, and ineffective windscreen wipers. Specifically, the August 2023 failure at 24,850 miles for tyre tread depth issues indicates that the previous owner may have been running consumables close to their legal limits. The 2021 failure also highlighted issues with the windscreen washer system and wiper effectiveness. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and rubber components, as the history shows a tendency for these to be neglected. Given the low annual mileage, check for any signs of tyre perishing or sidewall cracking that might not be captured by tread depth measurements alone. While no structural corrosion or suspension issues have been flagged in these records, a thorough check of the braking system and suspension bushes is advisable to ensure the low-mileage usage has not resulted in seized components or fluid degradation.
