Is the Suzuki Ignis ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 27,397 MOT tests, around 82% of Suzuki Ignises still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 0% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 18%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 73% petrol, 27% hybrid (petrol). Petrol Ignises are generally compliant from 2006, while petrol cars from 2000 or earlier are likely to be charged. Every hybrid (petrol) Ignis in the data (2016 onwards) is likely to be compliant.

Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006).
- Petrol (73% of Ignises tested): likely compliant from 2006; 2000 and earlier are likely to be charged.
- Hybrid (petrol) (27% of Ignises tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.

Buying a used Suzuki Ignis for London: what the MOT data shows
The Suzuki Ignises in this data were first registered between 2000 and 2021. 2017 was the most common year, with 6,083 tests (22% of the total), and half were registered in 2018 or later.
Almost every Ignis in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2021) passed first time 92% of the time at 14,639 miles on average, and the oldest (2000) passed 47% at 85,504 miles.
On a budget, the oldest petrol Ignises likely to comply are from 2006. 1,034 of them were tested; 2006 cars passed first time 59% of the time and averaged 82,428 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
On a budget, the oldest hybrid (petrol) Ignises likely to comply are from 2016. 39 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 75% of the time and averaged 36,473 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Ignis's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were visibility: "does not clear the windscreen effectively" (3.9% of tests); suspension: "fractured or broken" (3.8%); lights and electrics: "not working" (2.9%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 12.1% of tests.
Overall, 79% of Ignises passed first time, noticeably above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 40,705 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
