1980 Suzuki LJ 0.8L Petrol · FJX 676W

The most recent test on 22 April 2022 returned a pass at 48,405 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the vehicle's documented roadworthiness status as acceptable at that date. Relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, the record is over four years stale and gives no insight into current condition. The maintenance trend shown across the two 2022 entries is neither worsening nor improving, simply a same-day failure and pass with no faults listed. The recorded mileage of 48,405 against a 1980 build date equates to roughly 1,052 miles per year, confirming very light use for a 46-year-old vehicle. The two entries on 22 April 2022 show 48,403 miles at failure and 48,405 at pass, a two-mile gap within a single day that reflects an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical defect. No earlier tests appear in the supplied data, so long-term accumulation cannot be judged, but the low total suggests extended standing periods typical of barn-stored classics. A buyer should physically inspect structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and outriggers, as 46-year-old Japanese steel off-roaders commonly suffer rust where moisture collects. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers warrant hands-on checks for perishing or binding after years of minimal movement. Although the 2022 tester logged no advisories, the absence of recent testing means tyres, exhaust emissions, and brake discs must be verified before any road use.
