2019 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Petrol · WD19 WCT

A pattern of intermittent tyre degradation and minor braking issues characterizes the mechanical history of this Suzuki Ignis, though the most recent test on 18 June 2026 shows no recorded defects. While the vehicle has maintained a passing status since its first recorded test, the 2024 inspection highlighted recurring concerns regarding the condition of the rear tyres, noting both edge wear and cracking, alongside an advisory for a binding offside rear service brake. These issues appear to be cyclical or related to wear rather than structural failure, as the 2025 and 2026 tests returned no advisories or defects. The vehicle has covered 52,359 miles over approximately seven years, which equates to an average annual usage of roughly 7,480 miles. This mileage profile is consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of accumulation suggests that components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements should not be subject to extreme high-mileage wear, but the recorded advisories regarding tyre perishing and brake binding indicate that consumable items are being monitored as they reach the end of their service life. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the rear braking system and tyre condition during a physical inspection. The 2024 advisory regarding the offside rear service brake binding suggests the potential for uneven pad wear or a sticking caliper. On a test drive, listen for any unusual dragging noises or heat radiating from the rear wheels after driving, and feel for any pulling to one side when applying the brakes at low speeds. Furthermore, because the record shows multiple advisories for tyre cracking and edge wear, the current tread depth and the presence of any sidewall perishing should be verified to ensure the tyres are not nearing the legal limit or showing signs of age-related degradation. Visibility components have also been flagged in previous tests, specifically regarding the windscreen washer system and wiper effectiveness in 2023 and 2022. While these were rectified to achieve subsequent passes, a thorough check of the washer jet spray pattern and the wiper blade's ability to clear the glass without streaking is advisable. Ensuring the washer pump operates with sufficient pressure and that the blades do not chatter or skip across the windscreen will confirm that these previous functional failures have been fully addressed.
