Our Verdict

A rare, low-mileage classic that offers

The most critical point for a buyer is the mileage. The MOT records show the vehicle at 2,547 miles in May 2023, April 2025, and August 2026; this lack of movement suggests either a replaced odometer, a vehicle that has barely been driven, or a recording error. You should request documentation to verify the actual distance travelled.

Given the vehicle's age, check for any evidence of chassis corrosion, which is a common issue for this model, regardless of the low mileage. Ensure that the service history supports the low usage, as vehicles that sit idle for long periods can develop perished seals and rubber components.

The 1300cc petrol engine is mechanically simple, which typically keeps maintenance costs lower than modern equivalents. However, fuel economy for these older 4x4 models is generally poor, which will be the primary ongoing expense.

Insurance and road tax should be relatively modest given the engine capacity and the vehicle's age. Expect annual running costs to be influenced heavily by how often the vehicle is used and the necessity of maintaining older rubber components.

Pay close attention to the front suspension and steering; the anti-roll bar linkage pins and bushes were a recurring advisory in 2023 and caused a failure in April 2025. While the most recent test was clean, these components are known wear points.

Inspect the engine bay and underside for signs of the oil leak recorded in the May 2024 MOT. Finally, perform a thorough inspection of the bodywork and frame for rust, as the MOT history provided does not explicitly mention structural corrosion, but it is a high-risk area for 1990s Suzukis.

This 1991 white Suzuki SJ413 is powered by a 1300cc petrol engine and shows a remarkably low recorded mileage of 2,547 miles. The MOT history is relatively recent, with a clean pass in August 2026, although previous tests indicate recurring wear on the anti-roll bar linkages and a noted oil leak in 2024.

Aggregate data for the SJ413 is unavailable, but the series is generally recognised for its basic, robust mechanical design.
