2010 Suzuki Jimny 1.3L Petrol · KP60 YSC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of neglected corrosion and braking issues. While it passed its most recent test in January 2026 at 101,906 miles, it failed just fourteen miles prior due to an inoperative engine management light and brake-related faults. The persistence of a binding offside front brake and fluctuating offside rear brake across multiple tests suggests that the owner is only addressing immediate faults to pass the inspection rather than performing comprehensive preventative mechanical maintenance. At 101,906 miles over 16 years, the Suzuki Jimny averages approximately 6,370 miles per year, which is consistent with low-useage patterns. The record shows a steady rate of travel, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between December 2023 and January 2026. However, the low mileage has not protected the vehicle from environmental degradation of rubber and metal components, evidenced by the recurring presence of corroded fuel pipes and brake lines that have appeared consistently over a three-year period. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and fuel lines. The tester has repeatedly flagged corrosion on the offside rear brake pipes, rear brake hose ferrule, and fuel pipes, indicating significant surface rust that could lead to sudden fluid failure. The binding offside front brake requires a check for a seized caliper piston or sticking pins, which causes uneven wear. Additionally, the repeated reports of perished tyres and cracked seals in 2023 suggest the vehicle likely sits for long periods, which often accelerates the degradation of rubber components regardless of low mileage.
