2016 Suzuki Jimny 1.3L Petrol · AY66 FPV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection on 1 June 2026 at 49,349 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car is currently in a compliant state. This follows a period of clean records over the last three years, suggesting that the primary mechanical and structural components have maintained the required safety standards without immediate recurring failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,935 miles per year. Between May 2022 and June 2026, the Suzuki covered 26,930 miles, representing a consistent usage rate of roughly 6,700 miles annually. While this low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests sometimes mask age-related degradation of rubber components that suffer from time rather than distance driven. A buyer should pay close attention to the rubber components based on recurring issues identified in the history. Both the 2022 and 2023 tests flagged all four tyres for perishing and cracking in the tread, a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles sitting for extended periods. Despite these likely being replaced or addressed since, a physical inspection of the current tyres sidewalls, wipers, and suspension bushes is necessary to ensure they have not developed dry rot. Given the Jimny's age, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion is also vital, as the MOT record does not yet show the rust-related advisories that usually appear on this model after a decade.
