2020 Suzuki Ignis SZ-T Dualjet Shvs 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · RO70 AFJ

The most recent MOT test on 2025-07-17—just ten months ago—shows the vehicle passed without any defects, despite an unusual dual entry where it was initially recorded as failed before being passed at the same mileage (52,263). This suggests either a minor administrative error or a last-minute correction, but no technical issues were flagged. The preceding test in 2024-07-27 at 42,901 miles also passed cleanly, indicating no recurring mechanical failures over the past two years. While the 2023-09-15 test at 28,624 miles similarly showed no defects, the gap between that and the 2024 test—nearly a year—raises questions about whether intermediate maintenance was performed. Overall, the trend appears stable with no evidence of worsening conditions, though the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear. The recorded mileage of 52,263 miles over six years (as of 2026-07-26) averages approximately 8,710 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and usage pattern. The largest jump occurred between the 2023-09-15 test (28,624 miles) and the 2024-07-27 test (42,901 miles), a span of 14,277 miles in just under a year—suggesting either intensive use or a period of higher mileage accumulation. The subsequent 9,362 miles between July 2024 and July 2025 indicate a more moderate pace, though the extended gap between tests (particularly the 10-month interval in 2023) could imply inconsistent servicing. Without service records, it remains unclear whether critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers were inspected or replaced during this period. Given the absence of MOT defects or advisories, the most prudent areas for an in-person inspection would focus on high-wear items that typically fail without prior warning. The suspension—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—should be checked for excessive play or corrosion, as these components often degrade silently over time. Brake discs and calipers, while not flagged in tests, may exhibit uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle was driven hard during the rapid mileage period between 2023 and 2024. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion around the sills and wheel arches, should also be assessed, as rust can compromise the chassis without immediate MOT consequences. Finally, the dual entry in 2025 warrants scrutiny of the vehicle’s service history to confirm whether any unresolved issues were addressed outside the MOT cycle.
