Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a small, economical petrol engine with a clean recent MOT history. While the mileage is significantly higher than average, the lack of recorded defects in the last two tests is a positive indicator.
When inspecting this specific 1.5L petrol Ignis, focus on the mechanical components that frequently cause issues in this model range. Given the high mileage of 118,751, you should check the condition of the suspension and steering components, as ball joints are a common failure point for this model aggregate.
The 1490cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it relatively inexpensive to run in terms of fuel economy. You should check the specific insurance group for this 2005 registration, but small-capacity Suzukis typically fall into lower-to-mid groups.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though you should budget for wear-and-tear items like tyres and windscreen wipers, which are identified as top failure reasons for the Suzuki Ignis in our aggregate data. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Based on the aggregate data for the Suzuki Ignis, we recommend a thorough inspection of the tyres and the windscreen wiper mechanism, as these are frequent MOT failure points for this model. Even though this specific vehicle had no defects in 2022 or 2023, these items should be checked for wear.
Additionally, inspect the ball joints and suspension setup. While the recent MOT history for SD05NPX is clear of defects, the high mileage suggests that rubber components and joints may be nearing the end of their service life.
This 2005 Blue Suzuki Ignis features a 1.5L petrol engine and has covered 118,751 miles as of its last MOT in June 2023. Compared to the model average of 5,032 miles per year, this vehicle has been driven much more extensively than the typical example in our database. However, the two most recent MOT results show no defects, which is notable given the vehicle's age and mileage.
The Suzuki Ignis shows an average MOT pass rate of 83.2% across 24,740 analysed vehicles, with common issues involving tyres, ball joints, and wipers.
