2017 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Petrol · SV17 AHZ

This Suzuki Ignis presents a remarkably clean MOT history, with the most recent test on May 12, 2025 , at 33,950 miles passing without any defects—an outcome repeated across all five recorded entries since 2022. The absence of advisories or failures in the past year suggests the vehicle has been well maintained, with no signs of recurring mechanical or structural issues. The only anomaly is the duplicate entry on April 26, 2023 , where the same mileage (27,527) appears with both a pass and a fail, which may indicate a clerical error or retest after a minor oversight quickly resolved. No major wear trends—such as progressive suspension degradation, brake binding, or corrosion—are evident in the official records, reinforcing the impression of consistent upkeep. The mileage accumulation is unusually low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging just 3,772 miles per year , which could imply either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2023 (27,527 miles) and 2024 (31,530 miles) tests covers roughly 12 months but shows only a 4,003-mile increase , suggesting the car may have spent extended periods off the road. This pattern continues to 2025 , where another 2,420 miles were added over 12 months. While low mileage typically reduces wear on components like brakes, tyres, and suspension, it also raises questions about whether fluids (coolant, brake fluid, oil) have been regularly checked and replaced, as stagnation can lead to hidden degradation. Given the flawless MOT record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection, focusing on areas not covered by the test. Pay particular attention to the suspension bushes and coil springs , as low-mileage vehicles can still suffer from dry rot or fatigue if the car has been stored in damp conditions. Check for brake fluid condition and caliper binding , even though no MOT advisories were logged—binding can develop without visible wear. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion , especially at mounting points, given the car’s age and potential exposure to road salt or moisture. Finally, verify the structural integrity of the floor pans and sills , as rust can initiate unseen in low-mileage vehicles kept in less-than-ideal environments. The absence of MOT defects is a strong indicator of reliability, but these targeted checks will confirm whether the car’s low usage has been paired with proactive maintenance.
