2017 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Petrol · SY17 RKX

The 2017 Suzuki Ignis passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 with 52,520 miles, but with several advisories. The key concerns are corroded rear coil springs on both sides and worn suspension arm bushes on both front arms—both are repeat findings across the last two MOTs. Corroded rear coil springs (5.3.1 (b) (i)) were noted in both 2025 and 2026. While not yet a failure, this indicates advanced rust, likely from exposure to road salt or damp conditions. Left unchecked, severe corrosion can lead to spring failure or compromised ride control. Front suspension arm bushes (5.3.4 (a) (i)) have been flagged as worn on both sides since at least May 2025. The wording consistently states “not resulting in excessive movement,” meaning the issue is still in early-to-mid stage wear—but the persistence shows progressive deterioration. This affects steering precision, tyre wear, and handling stability. Tyre condition has also been a recurring issue: perishing and cracking were noted on both fronts in late 2023, and one rear tyre showed slight damage in 2025. Given the age of the vehicle and the mileage, tyres may now need replacement regardless of tread depth.
