2022 Suzuki Ignis SZ5 Dualjet Mhev 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · WD22 OKM

Across the two MOT tests recorded for this 2022 Suzuki Ignis SZ5 Dualjet MHEV, the vehicle has returned clean passes with no advisories, defects, or advisory notes logged at either visit. The most recent examination on 24 July 2026 recorded a straightforward pass with no items recorded, continuing the unbroken pattern set by the prior test on 15 August 2025. With only two annual tests captured in the history, the dataset is relatively shallow, but within that window there is no documented evidence of component wear, corrosion, fluid leaks, or emission concerns flagged by the tester. The absence of any recorded brake, suspension, tyre, or exhaust advisories over consecutive tests indicates that none of the wear items typically associated with ageing components have yet reached advisory thresholds under DVSA criteria. Recorded mileage stands at 25,629 miles against a vehicle roughly four years old, which equates to an annual accumulation of approximately 6,400 miles per year, a rate closely aligned with typical usage for a car of this age and class. There is no evidence in the records of any extended untested period, a sudden mileage spike, or a long stationary lay-up that would raise concerns about dormant degradation of seals, brake calipers, or fluid systems. The steady progression between tests, with a year separating the two recorded examinations, suggests consistent light-to-moderate use rather than the high-mileage motorway pattern that accelerates wear on clutches, brake discs, and suspension bushes. Mechanically, this usage profile would be expected to preserve component life on consumable items, though it does not eliminate the need for a physical inspection of age-related items such as rubber boots and perishable fluids. Given the absence of any flagged defects, a prospective buyer should focus their pre-purchase inspection on the components most prone to wear on a small crossover of this age and mileage, particularly the front suspension bushes, anti-roll bar drop links, and the rear coil spring seats, which on Ignis models are known to be susceptible to corrosion at the spring perch. On a test drive, listen for clonking or knocking noises from the front suspension over speed bumps and uneven surfaces, as worn bushes or top mount bearings on this platform can develop before they become visible on an MOT ramp check. Steering should feel precise without excess slack, and any vagueness through the centre point or knocking on full lock could indicate wear in the steering rack or tie rod ends that has not yet been formally recorded. Brake feel should also be assessed directly, as no defects have been recorded but disc and pad wear progresses with every mile. A firm pedal that does not travel excessively and pulls the car up squarely without judder through the steering or vibration through the pedal is the expected standard; any pulsing under heavy braking on this vehicle would merit a disc measurement, as the rear drums should also be checked for binding or a handbrake that does not positively engage on an incline. Finally, inspect the underbody and exhaust system for any surface corrosion, particularly around the rear silencer mounting points and the front subframe, as the Ignis SZ5 is a car that frequently operates in urban environments where salt exposure and short journeys can accelerate underbody oxidation even when no advisory has yet been raised.
