2018 Suzuki Jimny 1.5L Petrol · KV68 OLA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward deferred consumable maintenance. While the car passed its test in May 2026 at 69,448 miles, the tester flagged thin inner front brake pads and rear tyres reaching the legal wear limit on both sides. This represents a worsening trend in immediate upkeep compared to the previous year, suggesting that while the vehicle is mechanically sound, basic service items now require urgent attention. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual use for its age, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap in data between October 2023 at 37,423 miles and May 2024 at 52,573 miles, covering over 15,000 miles in seven months. Since then, the vehicle has maintained a steady rate of roughly 9,000 miles annually. The only recorded failure occurred in October 2023 due to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, which was rectified as evidenced by the subsequent clean tests. A buyer should personally inspect the front braking system to ensure the thin inner pads have not suffered uneven wear which could indicate a sticking caliper. The reported edge wear on the rear tyres also warrants a check of the wheel alignment and suspension bushings to rule out premature wear. Given the Jimny's design, a thorough inspection of the chassis and mounting points for corrosion remains standard practice, although the MOT record has not yet flagged any structural integrity issues.
