2018 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Petrol · WM18 ACV

The 2018 Suzuki Ignis presents a mixed roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-05-28 confirming a pass at 91,008 miles. However, a prior failed test on 2025-05-27, at the same mileage, raises questions about the consistency of the vehicle’s compliance. No defects were recorded in either test, suggesting minor procedural issues or unreported faults. The absence of critical failures in the 2023-05-02 test at 48,672 miles and the 2024-06-06 pass at 71,299 miles indicates a stable maintenance record, though the repeated failures without recorded defects warrant further scrutiny. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, accumulating 22,627 miles between 2023-05-02 and 2024-06-06, then 19,709 miles by 2025-05-28. This steady accumulation suggests regular use without prolonged inactivity, reducing risks of corrosion or component degradation from standing. The MOT history lacks significant gaps, with tests conducted within 11–13 months of each other, reflecting a consistent approach to compliance. However, the lack of defect details in the failed tests limits insight into potential underlying issues. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade with mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, given the vehicle’s age. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body seams, merit attention to rule out hidden corrosion. While the MOT record shows no major faults, the repeated failures without recorded defects imply the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
