2020 Suzuki Ignis Sz3 Dualjet Shvs
CarHunch analysed 358 real MOT records for the 2020 Suzuki Ignis Sz3 Dualjet Shvs. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Suzuki Ignis SZ3 is a genuinely reliable prospect, with a 93.3% first-time pass rate that significantly outperforms the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are rare at just 4.2% of the cohort. The hybrid powertrain appears to be working well, with the petrol-electric version achieving the same strong pass rate across nearly all 358 vehicles tested.
These cars are running light for their age, averaging just 21,573 miles, which partly explains the low failure rate of 0.26 per vehicle. The typical advisory count of 2.5 per car suggests minor wear is normal but major issues are uncommon; if you're shopping for one, prioritise a full service history and have the hybrid battery diagnostics checked as part of your pre-purchase inspection.
What to check before buying a 2020 Suzuki Ignis Sz3 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.
