2020 Suzuki Ignis Sz T Dualjet Shvs
CarHunch analysed 1,330 real MOT records for the 2020 Suzuki Ignis Sz T Dualjet Shvs. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Suzuki Ignis SZ-T is a genuinely reliable proposition—its first-time MOT pass rate of 92.9% sits well above the UK average of 80%, and only 5.5% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low. The hybrid powertrain performs consistently across the sample, with the petrol-electric version holding a 92.8% pass rate.
These Ignis models are running at modest mileage for their age (median 19,993 miles, average 21,634), which partly explains the strong reliability picture. When failures do occur they're minor—averaging just 0.27 per vehicle—though advisories are fairly common at 2.1 per car, suggesting routine wear items like brakes and exhausts warrant attention around the 40,000–50,000 mile mark. If you're buying one, get a full inspection of wear items, but don't expect structural or mechanical drama.
What to check before buying a 2020 Suzuki Ignis Sz T Dualjet Shvs
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
