Hybrid against the other Suzuki Ignis versions

Why the fuel type changes the number

Hybrids sidestep most emissions failures and tend to do lighter urban miles, though the extra weight tells on tyres and brakes.

On the Suzuki Ignis specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 85.5%, and this hybrid version sits 5.3 points above the 80.2% model average.

What it means if you are buying one

The hybrid Suzuki Ignis is the stronger side of this model on MOT data. Still judge the individual car, but the fuel type is a mild point in its favour. Buying a damaged one? run it through the analyzer, check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.

Mileage is part of the answer

The average hybrid Suzuki Ignis had covered 36,737 miles at test, against 52,221 for the petrol. That is below average for a car this age, worth a mileage-consistency check since an unusually low reading is sometimes clocking rather than luck.

Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Suzuki Ignis page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
