2022 Suzuki Ignis SZ-T Dualjet Mhev CVT 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · GY22 AHU

A consistent track record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with no recorded defects or advisories across its two most recent MOT inspections. The latest test on 25 March 2026 resulted in a pass with zero issues flagged, mirroring the clean result from the previous year on 24 March 2025. This indicates a stable mechanical profile regarding the components inspected under DVSA standards, such as lighting, braking systems, steering, and structural integrity, as no failures or even minor advisories have been noted during these testing cycles. The recorded mileage of 17,813 miles against a four-year age profile represents a low annual accumulation rate of approximately 4,453 miles per year. This usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been subject to infrequent road use compared to the UK national average. Mechanically, such low mileage typically results in less wear on high-friction components like brake discs, pads, and tyres, as well as less fatigue on suspension bushes and coil springs. However, it is important to note that very low annual mileage can sometimes mean the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, which can affect the condition of rubber seals and fluid circulation. Given the lack of specific defects or advisories in the MOT history, there are no documented mechanical concerns such as suspension knocks, brake binding, or exhaust leaks to investigate. On a test drive, focus should remain on ensuring the vehicle operates smoothly despite the low usage, checking for any hesitation in the CVT transmission or unusual noises from the drivetrain that might arise from long periods of inactivity. Listen for any rhythmic clicking or clunking from the suspension when navigating uneven surfaces to confirm that the bushes and dampers remain in good order. Since no oil misting or fluid leaks were recorded, the engine bay should be inspected for any signs of weeping around gaskets or seals that might not have been significant enough to trigger an MOT advisory. Check that the braking pedal feel is firm and consistent without any sponginess or judder under deceleration, ensuring the hydraulic system has remained effective. While the MOT history shows no faults, the low mileage profile warrants a physical check of the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking due to age rather than tread wear.
