2018 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Petrol · NV18 ACU

The Suzuki Ignis presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 46,629 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across every examination in the available history. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show 34,163 miles in May 2022, rising to 37,055 by September 2022, then 39,909 in September 2023, 43,429 in September 2024, and 46,629 in September 2025. That equates to roughly 5,800 miles per year, confirming light use with no abrupt accumulation or standing gaps between tests. The DVSA data contains no advisories, failures, or flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues at any stage. A clean MOT ledger of this length implies the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance, though absence of advisories does not confirm component condition. Low mileage combined with possible periods of inactivity can allow moisture ingress and surface corrosion to develop unseen on sills, subframes, and brake calipers. A buyer should physically inspect underbody structural integrity, check for binding calipers or seized handbrake mechanisms after standing, and verify tyre sidewall condition given the age of original rubber. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the record to suggest worsening trends or deferred consumable care. The verdict remains favourable on paper, but an independent pre-purchase inspection remains sensible given the vehicle's low-use profile and the limitations of MOT testing scope.
