Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeking a low-mileage city car. This example shows an exceptionally clean record with very low mileage to date.
When inspecting this vehicle, the primary focus should be verifying the service history. Because the mileage is so low (averaging under 1,800 miles per year), it is vital to ensure the car has been serviced annually rather than based on mileage intervals, to ensure fluids like oil and brake fluid remain fresh.
Check for signs of flat-spotting on tyres, as very low-mileage cars can suffer from uneven wear if left stationary. Given the 2018 registration, also inspect the interior for any signs of wear that might contradict the low odometer reading to ensure consistency with its use.
The 1.2-litre engine is designed for efficiency, typically falling into a low insurance group and competitive tax band. You can expect respectable fuel economy, particularly in urban environments, making it highly affordable for daily commuting.
Mtenance costs for this model are generally low due to the simple mechanical design of the Ignis. Estimated annual costs, including fuel, tax, and routine servicing, are likely to be on the lower end of the market for its segment.
While the MOT history shows no defects, you should still inspect the brake discs for surface rust, which can occur on cars that are driven infrequently. Check the underbody for any signs of premature corrosion despite the lack of failures.
Pay close attention to the tyre age dates; rubber can perish regardless of tread depth. Since there are no recorded MOT failures, look for any minor fluid leaks or trimwork issues that might not have reached the threshold for a standard MOT test.
This 2018 Suzuki Ignis is a rare find, having covered only 14,154 miles over eight years. The MOT history is flawless, with zero failures or advisories recorded across four consecutive tests dating from 2022 to 2025. Combined with its small 1.2cc petrol engine, it represents a practical and economical choice that has clearly been under-utilised.
The Suzuki Ignis is generally regarded for its simplicity and robust mechanical construction, contributing to overall reliability.
