2020 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Petrol · VO20 OMR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test on 8 May 2026 at 26,253 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed immediately prior due to an exhaust lambda reading issue and a damaged nearside rear tyre. The trend shows that the owner tends to address safety-critical faults only after an MOT failure rather than maintaining components during annual service intervals. At 26,253 miles over six years, the Ignis has low annual mileage, averaging approximately 4,376 miles per year. This low usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, which is evident in the record. Between the April 2024 test at 17,091 miles and the May 2025 test at 20,468 miles, the car covered only 3,377 miles, yet it failed on multiple tyre tread and condition issues, suggesting the rubber is outliving time despite the low distance driven. A buyer must inspect the remaining tyre set closely, as the nearside rear tyre has been flagged for perishing or damage across three consecutive tests dating back to May 2025. The recurring failure of windscreen wipers in 2025 also indicates that basic consumable items are neglected until they fail inspection. More importantly, the 2026 failure regarding exhaust lambda emissions suggests a potential sensor fault or fuel-mixture issue common in low-use, short-mileage vehicles, which requires diagnostic attention to ensure the engine remains within efficient parameters.
