2004 Suzuki Ignis 1.5L Petrol · LR04 AGU

The 2004 Suzuki Ignis passed its most recent MOT on 2024-02-09 at 90,045 miles, with no defects recorded. However, a prior failure on 2024-01-26 at 90,043 miles also showed no defects, suggesting potential administrative or procedural issues rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle’s maintenance trend remains unclear due to the lack of detailed defect reports, but the absence of recorded issues in the latest test indicates a stable condition. The 2023-01-19 and 2022-01-20 MOTs similarly passed without defects, reinforcing a pattern of compliance, albeit with minimal data to assess long-term wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 90,045 miles over 22 years equates to an average of 4,093 miles annually, which is low for its age. This suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion and component degradation. Notably, the mileage increased by 7,562 miles between 2022-01-20 (81,631 miles) and 2023-01-19 (89,193 miles), followed by a slow rise to 90,045 miles by 2024. The sparse MOT data, with only two failures and no defects, limits insight into mechanical trends, but the low annual usage warrants scrutiny of static-related issues. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to wear in older vehicles. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records does not preclude the need for a thorough brake check, as binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear may not always trigger alerts. Structural integrity should also be verified, as corrosion can develop in low-mileage vehicles left stationary. Given the lack of detailed defect reports, a professional inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness beyond the MOT records.
