2018 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Petrol · SH18 JSZ

The most recent MOT examination conducted on 2 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. When reviewing the broader history, the maintenance trend appears highly stable and positive. While the 2022 test noted concerns regarding the front tyres and brake discs, these issues have not recurred in the last three annual inspections, indicating that the previous owner likely addressed these consumables proactively to maintain the vehicle's roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 49,394 miles over approximately eight years, this vehicle has averaged roughly 6,174 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for a small city car, suggesting a balanced life of mixed driving cycles. There is no evidence of excessive wear associated with high-mileage commuting, nor are there signs of the mechanical stagnation often found in vehicles that have spent prolonged periods stationary. Despite the clean recent record, a prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on age-related degradation. Given the previous advisories for tyre perishing and pitted brake discs, it is essential to inspect the current tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or dry rot, which can occur regardless of remaining tread depth. The brake discs should be checked for a smooth surface finish to ensure there is no residual pitting or corrosion that could lead to brake shudder or reduced stopping efficiency during hard braking. Furthermore, at eight years of age, the vehicle requires a thorough verification of its service history to ensure calendar-based maintenance has been upheld. Pay close attention to the condition of the engine oil and coolant, as these fluids degrade over time even if mileage remains moderate. It is also advisable to test the 12V battery health and inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of fatigue or splitting, ensuring the chassis remains tight and responsive during a road test.
