2020 Suzuki Ignis SZ-T Dualjet Mhev CVT 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · Y44 VED

This Suzuki Ignis has maintained a clean MOT history across three consecutive tests, all passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 4th September 2025—just ten months prior to today—confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. The absence of recurring issues across tests suggests no systematic neglect, though the low mileage means wear indicators like brake pads or suspension bushes may not yet show significant degradation. Still, the lack of advisories implies no hidden concerns were identified by the tester, though a thorough in-person assessment remains essential. The recorded mileage of 15,907 miles over six years—approximately 2,651 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. This pattern suggests either minimal usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could affect components like the battery, CVT fluid condition, or tyre tread uniformity. The consistent annual mileage increments (14,308 in 2024, 11,495 in 2023) indicate no sudden spikes or drops, reinforcing a stable but lightly driven history. However, low mileage does not preclude wear; some elements, such as the CVT transmission’s internal seals or the MHEV hybrid battery’s health, may still require verification. Given the clean MOT record, priority should be given to inspecting the CVT transmission for fluid leaks or unusual wear, as CVTs are particularly sensitive to prolonged inactivity. The hybrid battery’s state of charge and any visible corrosion on its terminals should be checked, as low mileage can accelerate degradation in hybrid systems. Suspension components—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—should be examined for cracking or excessive play, as these are often overlooked in lightly driven vehicles. Brake discs and pads, while unlikely to be critical at this mileage, warrant inspection for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stored with dampness. Finally, the underbody should be scrutinised for corrosion around wheel arches and the sills, as rust can develop even with minimal movement.
