Petrol against the other Suzuki Ignis versions

Why the fuel type changes the number

Petrol cars avoid the DPF and emissions failures that catch diesels, and usually fail on the same consumables as any other car.

On the Suzuki Ignis specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 85.5%, and this petrol version sits 0.9 points below the 80.2% model average.

What it means if you are buying one

There is little to choose between fuel types on this model, so decide on running costs and mileage rather than MOT record. 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 petrol Suzuki Ignis had covered 52,221 miles at test, against 36,737 for the hybrid. That is around average, so condition and service history will tell you more than the odometer does.

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.
