The most recent test on 17 December 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (6 issues), Tyres (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 9 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Our Verdict
Approach with caution and budget for brake and fuel pipe corrosion work before purchase. This 2018 Suzuki Jimny has passed its most recent MOT but carries a recurring pattern of corrosion and braking issues that should not be ignored.
Before buying, insist on seeing the full service history and confirm that the brake pipes, front brakes, and fuel pipes noted as corroded in the 2024 and 2025 MOTs have been properly treated or replaced. The December 2024 failure was due to both rear tyres below the 1.6mm legal limit, so check that quality replacements were fitted and not just the minimum legal tyres. Negotiate at least £300-£500 off the asking price to cover anticipated corrosion remedial work, as the issues have appeared on three consecutive tests.
The 1.3-litre petrol Jimny is not the most frugal 4x4, with real-world economy typically in the low 30s mpg; annual fuel for 9,700 miles will be roughly £1,000 at current petrol prices. Road tax for a 2018 petrol vehicle of this size is modest, likely in the £200-£250 per year bracket, and insurance groups for Jimnys are generally reasonable due to their utilitarian nature. Routine maintenance such as oil changes and tyres is affordable, but the noted corrosion means set aside extra for brake and fuel pipe care; estimated annual running cost is £1,400-£1,700 including expected repairs.
On inspection, closely examine both front-to-rear brake pipes for corrosion and the fuel pipes which were flagged as 'corroding' on the 2025 test, as surface grease may be masking worse decay. The front service brakes have shown fluctuation on both sides at the last three tests (2024 fail, 2024 pass, 2025 pass), so a garage should check callipers and discs for sticking or warping. Verify the rear tyres fitted after the December 2024 failure have even wear and adequate tread, and note the 2023 advisories showed both rears worn on the edge at 40,549 miles.
This green 2018 Suzuki Jimny (DP67DMZ) shows 59,991 miles on its latest 2025 MOT, having covered roughly 9,700 miles per year since first registration in January 2018. The MOT history includes one failure in December 2024 for worn rear tyres and recurring brake pipe corrosion plus front brake fluctuation advisories across multiple years. No aggregate model reliability data is available, but the individual history suggests above-average wear on braking and fuel system components for the age.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Suzuki Jimny, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history which shows corrosion-related advisories.
