2002 Suzuki Ignis 1.3L Petrol · NX52 LCV

The most recent MOT test on 24 June 2026 shows a pass, though the vehicle presents several advisories that indicate a need for attention. The maintenance trend appears to be shifting towards the replacement of age-related consumables, as the tester flagged multiple issues regarding tyre condition and exhaust security. While the vehicle passed the inspection, these advisories suggest that certain components are reaching the end of their serviceable life. The recorded mileage of 67,634 miles is notably low for a 2002 vehicle, averaging approximately 2,818 miles per year over its 24-year lifespan. This low annual usage pattern often correlates with the specific issues noted in the June 2026 record. The advisories for nearside front and rear tyres showing cracking or perishing are typical of vehicles that undergo long periods of standing or infrequent use, where rubber compounds degrade due to age rather than tread wear. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls to check for deep perishing that could lead to structural failure. The defective front exhaust mounting noted in the June 2026 test requires closer examination to ensure the exhaust system is not vibrating excessively or at risk of detachment. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, inspecting rubber components such as suspension bushes and engine mounts for similar signs of perishing or cracking would be a prudent step.
