2007 Suzuki Ignis 1.3L Petrol · MA07 OZC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend despite a minor mechanical setback. The most recent test on 13 January 2026 at 39,085 miles resulted in a failure due to a low offside front headlamp aim, though this was immediately rectified to achieve a clean pass. Prior to this, the vehicle passed its 2024 and 2025 inspections with no recorded defects, indicating consistent basic upkeep. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,057 miles per year. Between February 2023 and January 2026, the car covered only 1,932 miles, suggesting it is used very sparingly or has sat stationary for extended periods. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of material degradation in rubber-based parts, seals, and tyres, which can dry out or crack despite lack of use. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering system, as the February 2023 test at 37,153 miles flagged offside play in the steering rack inner joints. Although this appears to have been addressed given subsequent passes, the steering should be checked for any remaining play or notched movement. Given the age of the Ignis, the chassis also requires scrutiny for structural corrosion on the mounting points and brake lines. Such low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized brake calipers or rust because they are not driven frequently enough to clear away surface oxidation and moisture.
