2017 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Petrol · LC02 ACE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in January 2026 at 15,851 miles. The maintenance trend is generally stable but reveals a recurring pattern of consumable-related neglect. While the car avoids major mechanical failures, the repeated appearance of tyre wear advisories in 2024 and 2026 indicates that the owner only addresses rubber components once they approach the legal limit of failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,760 miles per year. Data shows significant periods of inactivity, such as the 2,180-mile gap between January 2024 and January 2025. This low usage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components but increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading. The 2022 advisory regarding cracked and perished front tyres supports this, as dry rot is a classic symptom of a vehicle that sits stationary for long durations rather than being driven regularly. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension components before purchasing. The 2024 test at 13,288 miles flagged worn suspension arm pins and bushes on both rear sides. While this did not cause a failure, it suggests the rubber bushings are beginning to degrade due to age and exposure. The consistent uneven wear noted on the rear tyres in both 2024 and 2026 points toward a potential alignment issue or worn shocks that will continue to prematurely scrub tyres. Given the low mileage, the inspector must also check the brake discs for surface corrosion or seizing, which frequently occurs when cars are not used daily. The current state of all four tyres is critical, as the most recent report confirms the rear pair is at the legal limit, meaning they likely require immediate replacement regardless of their age.
