Looking at a Ignis?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular Ignis is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Ignis disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 36,596 in 2024 Q3 and stand at 35,370 in 2026 Q1, down 3%. That is up 17% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 2,308 are declared SORN — 1 in 16 of the 37,678 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Ignis MOT pass rate

In 2024, 74.1% of 16,782 Suzuki Ignis MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 85.9% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 54.9% aged 15–30 years.

  • Springs — 5% of tests. A broken or sagging coil spring. Replaced in pairs, so it is not the cheapest failure.
  • Suspension Arms — 3.8% of tests. Worn arms or bushes. A common age-related repair that affects handling and tyre wear.
  • Wipers — 3.6% of tests. Worn wiper blades. Minutes to fix, and a fair hint that servicing was skipped.
  • Brake Performance — 2.8% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
