2014 Suzuki Jimny 1.3L Petrol · DS64 FCY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a clean pass record since its last failure. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 160,266 miles resulted in no defects recorded, continuing a three-year trend of perfect passes. This suggests that the mechanical issues identified back in November 2022 were rectified and that the owner has since maintained a consistent standard of upkeep to satisfy annual testing requirements. The mileage profile indicates high usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,356 miles per year. A significant surge of 20,000 miles occurred between November 2022 and November 2023, representing a period of heavy annual use. Since the November 2024 test, the vehicle has covered roughly 4,400 miles in seven months, suggesting the current usage remains high. This consistent high mileage places accelerated strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components, which typically require more frequent intervention than those found on low-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lower chassis and structural integrity, as the Suzuki Jimny is prone to corrosion that may not always manifest as a failure until it becomes significant. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the shock absorbers, coil springs, and ball joints is necessary to identify premature wear or play. While the MOT record is clean, the volume of travel suggests that the brake discs and calipers may be nearing the end of their service life, necessitating a close look for thinning material or uneven wear.
