2004 Suzuki Ignis 1.5L Petrol · WK04 YKC

The 2004 Suzuki Ignis presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-17 at 85,614 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2025-03-06 and 2024-03-05 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The single 2025-03-05 failure at the same mileage was recorded as a pass in the subsequent test, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor non-defect issue. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the history, supporting an assessment of reliable condition. The vehicle’s mileage of 85,614 miles over 22 years equates to approximately 3,892 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage may indicate infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like brake calipers, suspension bushes, and battery health. Notably, the MOT records show no gaps longer than 12 months, reflecting regular testing. However, the absence of defects in all tests does not confirm proactive maintenance beyond legal compliance, as MOTs only assess minimum safety standards. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, which may degrade during periods of inactivity. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as low mileage can mask uneven wear. Structural integrity is not flagged in the records, but rust-prone areas like underbody panels or door sills warrant visual scrutiny. The lack of advisories in the MOT history suggests no urgent concerns, but the vehicle’s age and mileage pattern necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical soundness.
