2018 Suzuki Ignis 1.2L Petrol · WR18 HKF

The vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards, but the MOT record indicates a deteriorating trend in the latest inspection. In the September 2023 test at 9,362 miles, the tester flagged binding rear brakes and structural integrity issues requiring urgent attention. This was the most recent test date, and the failure of the rear brakes in that specific test suggests a persistent mechanical risk that has not been adequately addressed since then, warranting a more thorough inspection before purchase. The mileage accumulation is relatively low for an 8-year-old car, averaging approximately 1,978 miles per year. While the car is not excessively worn, this pattern of low mileage suggests that the vehicle may have been used infrequently or for extended periods, which could indicate that consumables like tyres or wiper blades were not replaced regularly. However, the lack of specific reports for brake pads or suspension bushings in the provided records makes it difficult to quantify the cumulative wear on these critical components from this single dataset alone. Given the history of binding rear brakes and structural integrity concerns from the September 2023 test, a buyer should inspect the suspension and brakes in person. The tester flagged binding rear brakes in the September 2023 test, which implies that the vehicle may have had binding calipers or binding rear brakes that need to be checked for wear and potential failure. Additionally, the lack of reports for suspension bushings or brake discs in the records suggests that regular servicing may have been skipped, meaning the vehicle may not be in good condition for future driving.
