Insight summary

Suzuki Ignis is a scarce model in this snapshot, with 19,253 represented vehicles and 0.05% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 80.0% from 137,326 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 51. The current pool shows an average of 59,792 miles and an average age of 12.2 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 91,341 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by hybrid electric, and the most frequent defect themes are coil springs, windscreen damage and tyre condition. The practical read is that the Suzuki Ignis looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
