Our Verdict
A viable option for buyers seeking a low
Focus on the tyre condition mentioned in the April 2026 MOT, as both rear tyres are noted as cracking or perishing. You should negotiate the purchase price to account for the immediate replacement of these tyres to ensure the vehicle remains safe for use.
Check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes and fluid flushes, which are important for the 1.3L petrol engine. Ensure all documentation for the 2024 emissions repair is present to confirm the exhaust issue was fully rectified.
The 1328cc petrol engine provides modest fuel economy typical of a small 4x4. Tax and insurance costs are generally manageable for this engine size and age, though these will depend on the driver's profile and insurance group.
Annual maintenance costs will include routine servicing and the replacement of wear-and-tear items. Given the age of the vehicle, budgeting for occasional component replacements is advisable.
Closely inspect the chassis and underbody for corrosion, as this is one of the top failure reasons for the Jimny model across 28,294 analysed vehicles. Even if not listed in the recent MOT history, it is a known weak point for this model.
Physically check the rear tyres for the cracking and perishing noted in the April 2026 test. Additionally, verify the exhaust system's condition and performance, following the carbon monoxide failure recorded in April 2024.
This 2006 Suzuki Jimny has recorded 71,029 miles, which is below the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history shows a pass in April 2026, though it carries advisories regarding the condition of the rear tyres. A single failure in 2024 related to exhaust emissions was resolved within 11 days.
The Jimny has an average MOT pass rate of 78.2%, with common failure points identified as headlamps, corrosion, and coil springs.
