Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage Suzuki Jimny. The consistent MOT pass record without defects suggests a vehicle that has avoided the common mechanical failures seen in the wider model sample.
When inspecting this specific 1.3L petrol Jimny, verify that the service history aligns with the low mileage recorded. While the MOT history is clean, you should check for any evidence of off-road use, such as underside damage or heavy scratches, which are common for this model type but not captured in MOT testing.
Negotiate based on the vehicle's low mileage compared to the aggregate data. Ensure you check the condition of the tyres and brakes, as these are common wear items that may not have been flagged in recent clean MOT tests.
The 1328cc petrol engine is relatively small, which helps keep insurance groups and tax bands manageable for a vehicle of this type. Fuel economy will be influenced by the Jimny's boxy aerodynamics, but the low mileage suggests lower-than-average annual fuel expenditure.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically moderate, though you should budget for items like coil springs, which are noted as a top failure reason in the wider aggregate data. Estimated annual running costs are expected to be consistent with a small petrol SUV.
Given that headlamps, coil springs, and windscreen wipers are the most frequent failure points for this model across the 28,212 vehicles analysed, pay close attention to these components. Check that the headlamp beams are aligned and the wipers operate smoothly without streaking.
Additionally, inspect the suspension components and coil springs for any signs of corrosion or fatigue. Although this specific vehicle has had no recorded defects, these are the primary areas where Jimnys tend to fail the MOT.
This 2016 grey Suzuki Jimny has covered 46,938 miles as of its last MOT in December 2025. Its mileage is significantly lower than the model average of 4,037 miles per year, which would equate to approximately 56,500 miles for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows a clean run of five consecutive passes with no recorded defects or advisories since 2021.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.2% MOT pass rate, with common failures typically relating to lighting, suspension (coil springs), and wipers.
