The 2017 Suzuki Ignis has an overall defect rate of 128 per 100 vehicles, which is slightly better than the yearly average of 134 per 100 vehicles, marking a 4.5% improvement. Notably, the Ignis excels in several categories, including brakes, where it shows a significant reduction in defects compared to the average, and also performs well in steering, lights and electrics, body structure, and equipment. However, its performance in the wheels, suspensions, and axles category is concerning, with a defect rate considerably higher than the average. Mileage-related trends indicate that defect rates increase steadily with mileage, particularly in the highest mileage bracket.
