2020 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Petrol · MX20 YYS

The 2020 Suzuki Ignis presents a stable and largely sound roadworthiness record, with its most recent MOT conducted on 2026-03-20 at 21,920 miles returning a pass. The only defect flagged was a windscreen stone chip marked from the wiper arc, assessed as not adversely affecting the driver's view under item 3.2 (a) (i). This is a minor cosmetic and visibility advisory rather than a structural or mechanical failure. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural defects appearing across successive annual tests. The mileage progression tells a consistent story of light use. The vehicle accumulated 9,028 miles by March 2023, 13,816 miles by March 2024, 17,932 miles by March 2025, and 21,920 miles by March 2026. That equates to roughly 4,000 to 4,700 miles per year in recent use, up from around 4,500 miles per year in the earlier period. For a six-year-old car with a recorded average of approximately 3,653 miles annually, this is genuinely low mileage. Such light usage typically reduces wear on consumable components, though prolonged periods of standing can introduce its own concerns around tyre perishing, brake surface corrosion, and stale fuel. The advisory history is sparse and points to basic consumable wear rather than systemic mechanical neglect. The 2025 test flagged a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on an edge, indicating either deferred tyre replacement or a possible alignment or suspension bush wear issue that caused uneven wear. The 2024 test recorded a defective offside front wiper blade, a routine maintenance item. No braking, suspension, exhaust, or structural corrosion defects have been recorded across any of the four tests. A buyer should still inspect the front suspension bushes and track rod ends for play, given the uneven tyre wear noted in 2025. The windscreen chip from March 2026 warrants close examination to confirm it has not propagated across the driver's line of sight, as a replacement may become necessary at the next test. Brake discs and pads should be checked for surface corrosion consistent with a vehicle that may sit unused for extended periods. The tyres, including the spare if fitted, should be examined for sidewall cracking due to age, as low-mileage vehicles often need tyre replacement based on date code rather than tread depth alone.
