Expert verdict
Visibility: 8.9× the national share
Visibility accounts for 44.4% of everything recorded on the 2023 Suzuki Ignis, against 5.0% nationally — 39.4 points above. Tyres are still the single largest share at 44.4%, but at 19.8% nationally that one is ordinary. Wipers, washers and a chip in the driver’s eyeline are the three quickest ways to fail a test that the car otherwise deserves to pass.
- Beats its own age and mileage. Once you allow for how old and how far these cars have been driven, the expected pass rate is 94.8% and this one manages 100.0% — 5.2 points ahead of what its age and mileage predict.
- Based on a small sample. 96 tests back this page. That is enough to publish and to index, not enough to treat the decimal places as precise — read the pattern, not the second digit.

What fails a 2023 Ignis
Everything a tester recorded on this vehicle, grouped into the inspection sections that produced it. The notch on each bar is the national share, so you can see at a glance whether this car is unusual or just ordinary.

Before your test
Three checks worth doing on a 2023 Ignis
These are not generic tips — they are the faults recorded most often on this exact model, rewritten as things you can check yourself. All three take about ten minutes and cost nothing.
-
Check the windscreen 2.1% of tests
“windscreen damaged”
Check the driver’s side of the screen within the swept area for chips and cracks; anything larger than 10mm in the driver’s central view is a fail. Most chips can be resin-repaired for far less than a new screen.
-
Check the wipers and washers 1.0% of tests
“washers provides insufficient washer liquid”
Run the wipers with the screen wet: they should clear it in one sweep without smearing or juddering. Top the washer bottle up and check both jets hit the screen.
Shares are the proportion of tests on this vehicle that recorded the item, so they overlap: one test can record several.
What it costs to get a 2023 Ignis through its MOT
Across the 3 items that are recorded most often on this model, the average repair comes to £43–£109 — and 50% of those repairs are parts that cost under £30.
