2013 Suzuki Jimny 1.3L Petrol · KM63 DNU

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-18 showed the vehicle passed with a minor windscreen defect, consistent with earlier entries. This issue—damage not affecting the driver’s view—has appeared in multiple tests since 2024, indicating a recurring but non-critical fault. No new major defects were recorded in this test, suggesting repairs or mitigations may have been addressed. A significant failure occurred on 2024-01-25, revealing multiple serious issues: a fractured offside front coil spring, nearside front tyre tread below legal limits, a non-working position lamp, and ongoing tyre and windscreen defects. These findings highlight structural and safety risks, particularly the coil spring fracture, which could compromise handling and stability. Subsequent MOTs in 2024-01-29 and 2025-01-23 passed, but similar tyre and windscreen issues resurfaced, implying partial or temporary fixes rather than comprehensive resolution. The pattern suggests a mix of persistent minor faults (windscreen, tyres) and a critical failure (coil spring) that was later resolved. While the 2026 MOT shows no new major defects, the history indicates the vehicle has experienced significant wear, particularly in suspension and tyre components. The trend does not clearly show worsening conditions, but the 2024 failure remains a notable red flag. The vehicle’s mileage of 105,010 miles over 13 years aligns with average annual usage (around 8,078 miles), suggesting typical wear rather than excessive use.
