2019 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Hybrid electric · LR19 JCY

The most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 passed cleanly, though it flagged an advisory for an oil leak that is not yet excessive. This is a fresh mechanical concern that did not appear in earlier tests. The dominant risk pattern in this car's history is severe tyre and rubber degradation. In 2023, a front tyre was worn to the legal limit. The situation worsened significantly by May 2025, when the car failed on a rear tyre suffering a structural tear and separation, while the other three tyres were all flagged for cracking and perishing. That same day it passed after presumably replacing the failed tyre, but the cracking advisories on the remaining three tyres persisted. By 2026, those tyre advisories have disappeared, suggesting the perished tyres were finally replaced, but the underlying cause of that rapid rubber decay is critical. The condition trend is worsening in terms of component ageing, despite the low mileage. At roughly 5,600 miles per year, this Suzuki has seen very light use. Low mileage can be ambiguous, but the MOT evidence strongly points to long periods of standing rather than daily driving.
