2002 Suzuki Jimmy 1.3L Petrol · C14 PRE

The Suzuki Jimny presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 October 2025 at 61,135 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 61,135 miles against a 2002 build, equating to roughly 2,547 miles per year. The DVSA entries show gentle annual use: 54,995 miles in September 2022, 57,305 miles in October 2023, 59,476 miles in October 2024, and 61,135 miles in October 2025. A failed test on 13 October 2023 at 57,305 miles carries no defect data, with a passing certificate issued the same day, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The low, steadily climbing mileage implies light use, though prolonged standing between short trips can age rubber components and promote corrosion unseen in the clean record. No advisories or defects appear across any test, so the buyer faces no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity concerns from the MOT data. The absence of corrosion notes does not rule out hidden rust on a 24-year-old off-road chassis, particularly around sills and subframes. A pre-purchase inspection should still verify underbody condition, suspension articulation, and brake caliper freedom given the vehicle's age and likely periods of inactivity. The clean history reflects conscientious basic upkeep, but the sparse entries leave consumable wear and structural rot unconfirmed without a physical examination.
