2017 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Petrol · SO17 ORV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a recent trend of structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 37,039 miles, this followed a significant failure just three weeks prior. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to a multi-point failure in 2025 indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where age-related component failure is beginning to manifest, despite the low annual mileage. At 37,039 miles over nine years, the car has covered a low average of approximately 4,115 miles per year. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, as seen in the 2022 test at 20,056 miles where rear tyres were flagged for perishing. The rapid accumulation of 4,414 miles between September 2024 and October 2025 suggests a recent increase in use compared to previous years, which may have contributed to the corrosion observed on the brake lines and suspension components. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension and braking system. The tester repeatedly noted corrosion on both front Macpherson struts and identified an excessively corroded offside front brake pipe in September 2025. Furthermore, the failure of the rear bushes on both front suspension arms indicates that the rubber components are reaching the end of their lifespan. The buyer should verify that the repairs made after the 2025 failure were executed thoroughly and that the corrosion on the struts is not progressing toward structural weakness.
