2017 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Petrol · GU67 LHT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test on October 24 2025 at 69,489 miles resulted in an initial failure due to electrical faults and mechanical wear. While the car passed immediately after remedial work, the presence of multiple defects—ranging from lighting to suspension components and braking hardware—indicates that the owner is only addressing issues once they reach the point of an MOT test failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. The record shows steady progression, with 12,768 miles covered between the 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 11,652 miles between 2023 and 2024. This relatively low annual mileage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy long-distance use, which explains the aging of rubber-based components like the perishing tyres noted early in the history. A buyer must pay close attention to the front braking system and suspension geometry. The record highlights a recurring issue with front brake discs, which were noted as worn in 2022 and 2023, and became heavily lipped and pitted by 2025. This suggests the pads may have been changed without replacing discs, leading to surface damage. Additionally, the deteriorated offside front anti-roll bar linkage dust cover in 2025 indicates that suspension rubber components are beginning to fail. A physical inspection should check for play in the steering joints and ensure the recent lighting repairs were executed to a professional standard.
