2017 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Petrol · LL17 VTV

The Suzuki Ignis exhibits a roadworthiness profile defined by a recent deterioration in tyre condition across all four corners, contrasting with a generally stable history of passing tests. The most recent inspection on 12 December 2025 recorded advisories for perishing and wear on the nearside front and rear tyres, and damage on the offside rear, alongside a legal limit warning on the nearside front. This follows a clean pass in October 2024, suggesting a rapid onset of tyre degradation that warrants immediate attention. With only 19,260 miles recorded as of the current date, the vehicle has accumulated an average of approximately 2,140 miles per year over its lifespan. This low annual mileage indicates light usage, which statistically correlates with specific mechanical risks such as flat-spotting on tyres, dry rot in rubber components, and potential sulfation or discharge in the 12-volt battery system. The testing history shows consistent annual checks, with no significant mileage gaps that would suggest extended periods of inactivity, although the rapid appearance of tyre advisories in the latest test highlights how low usage can accelerate the ageing of rubber components. Given the advisory for tyre damage and wear on the nearside front, a thorough visual inspection of the tread depth and sidewall integrity is mandatory before purchase, as the nearside front tyre is currently worn close to the legal limit. The previous failure in February 2022 regarding the offside front tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctioning requires verification that this specific sensor or the associated wiring has been rectified, as a malfunctioning TPMS can render the vehicle unroadworthy for a single test if the warning light remains illuminated. Additionally, the 2021 failure regarding insufficient front windscreen washer fluid indicates a potential blockage in the washer system or a reservoir issue that should be tested to ensure the wiper functionality remains effective during wet conditions.
