Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage example of this model. The recent MOT history shows a clean pass with no recorded defects in the most recent tests.
Given the low mileage for a 2006 vehicle, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure the mechanical components have been maintained despite the infrequent use. Check for any signs of rubber degradation or perished seals, which can occur on vehicles that are driven less than the annual average.
When negotiating, ask for evidence of recent maintenance, as the MOT records show the vehicle passed its 2025 test with no defects. While the MOT history is clean, always confirm that any previous failures (such as those noted in 2024 and 2025) were rectified before the subsequent pass.
The 1328cc petrol engine is relatively small, which generally keeps insurance groups and tax bands lower than larger 4x4 alternatives. Fuel economy will depend on driving style, but as a lightweight vehicle, it is typically more efficient than heavier off-roaders.
Maintenance costs for this model tend to be manageable, though you should budget for items common to the aggregate data, such as windscreen wipers or lighting components. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, fall within a moderate range for a small petrol vehicle.
Inspect the exterior lighting and headlamps carefully, as these are noted as a top failure reason for this model in aggregate data. Additionally, check the condition of the windscreen wipers and the integrity of the coil springs, as these have also been frequent causes of MOT failures across the wider Suzuki Jimny sample.
Because this specific vehicle has recorded two MOT failures (in 2024 and 2025) immediately followed by passes, you should verify that the issues identified during those failures were addressed. While the specific defect types were not recorded in the data provided, a physical inspection of the suspension and braking components is advised.
This 2006 Suzuki Jimny, finished in red, has covered 60,347 miles since its first registration in September 2006. This mileage is significantly lower than the model average of 4,061 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of passing tests, with the most recent record in April 2025 showing no defects.
The Suzuki Jimny has an average MOT pass rate of 78.2% based on the analysis of 28,202 vehicles.

- "Death Wobble"Serious
A violent vibration of the steering wheel and front wheels, usually triggered by a bump at speed.
- 4WD Vacuum Hub FailureModerate
The front hubs engage via vacuum; a small leak in a rubber hose will prevent 4WD from working.
- Floor Pan and Sill CorrosionSerious
The floor pans and boot floor are notorious for rotting from the inside out. Foam filler in the sills traps moisture, accelerating corrosion in these critical structural areas.
