Moderate sample. 437 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This 2021 Suzuki Ignis is a genuinely reliable performer, passing its MOT on the first attempt 95% of the time—well ahead of the UK average of 80%. Dangerous defects are vanishingly rare at just 2.5%, so safety-critical systems are holding up well.

At 18,561 miles median for a three-year-old car, these examples have been driven sensibly and haven't accumulated the wear that typically triggers failures. The hybrid powertrain is proving durable, with owners averaging only 0.14 failures per test, though minor advisories (1.2 per vehicle) suggest you should budget for routine brake and suspension maintenance to keep one in top condition.

The 2021 Suzuki Ignis Sz5 Dualjet MHEV Allgrip passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (95.7% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
