2023 Suzuki Ignis SZ5 Dualjet Mhev Allgrip 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · TAZ 655

High annual mileage combined with recent tyre-related advisories defines the current mechanical profile of this vehicle. The most recent MOT on 26 May 2026 resulted in a pass, but the record highlights immediate attention required for the tyre condition across multiple corners. While the vehicle has avoided structural or mechanical failures in its recorded history, the emergence of perishing and damage to the nearside rear, offside rear, and offside front tyres suggests that the rubber components are reaching the end of their serviceable life due to either age or environmental exposure. The vehicle has covered 52,569 miles in approximately three years, representing an average annual accumulation of roughly 17,523 miles. This is significantly higher than the UK average for a vehicle of this age and indicates a pattern of heavy, consistent use. Mechanically, this higher mileage profile means that consumable components such as brake pads, discs, suspension bushes, and shock absorbers will likely be further through their wear cycles than a lower-mileage equivalent. The rapid accumulation of mileage suggests the vehicle has been used frequently for long-distance or high-frequency commuting rather than short, occasional trips. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the tyre condition flagged in the May 2026 test. The advisories for cracking and perishing on both rear tyres, alongside a cut on the offside front, necessitate a close inspection of the tread depth and sidewall integrity. During a test drive, pay close attention to any unusual road noise, vibration through the steering wheel, or a rhythmic thumping sensation, which could indicate that the tyre damage or uneven wear is affecting the vehicle's handling or stability. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension and braking systems is also warranted. While no specific defects were recorded, the heavy usage pattern increases the likelihood of wear in the suspension linkages and dampers. Listen for any knocks or clunks when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, and check for any pulling to one side during straight-line driving. Additionally, monitor the brake pedal feel for any sponginess or judder, which would indicate wear on the discs and calipers consistent with high-mileage operation.
