2004 Suzuki Ignis 1.5L Petrol · SE04 FMF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 19 July 2022 at 114,119 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that at the time of that inspection, the vehicle met all DVSA standards for structural integrity, emissions, and safety equipment without immediate signs of mechanical failure or neglected maintenance. The mileage pattern is notably low for a vehicle of twenty-two years old, averaging approximately 5,187 miles per year. Between August 2021 and July 2022, the car covered 4,295 miles, which suggests a consistent period of low-intensity usage. However, there is a significant gap of four years since the last recorded MOT test in 2022. This lapse means the current roadworthiness status is no longer officially verified, and age-related degradation of rubber components or fluids may have occurred during periods of stationary use despite the low mileage. Given the clean nature of the previous tests, a physical inspection should focus on areas associated with age rather than high-mile wear. A buyer must specifically check for structural corrosion on the sills, wheel arches, and suspension mounting points, which are common failure areas for older Suzuki models. Low mileage can often lead to seized brake calipers, perished tyres, or cracked suspension bushes, so the inspector should verify the free movement of braking components and the condition of the tyre rubber to ensure the car has not suffered from sitting.
