2018 Suzuki Jimny 1.5L Petrol · KV68 OLO

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection in December 2025 at 38,571 miles passed without any mechanical failures, although the tester noted the rear seat belts could not be checked due to the seat position. This follows a clean result from late 2024, indicating that the primary mechanical and safety components have remained within acceptable parameters during recent testing intervals. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per annum. Data shows consistent annual usage, with mileage increasing from 16,331 miles in late 2021 to 38,571 miles by late 2025. This low-intensity use suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and rubber bushings, though such low intervals can sometimes lead to dry rot or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should pay specific attention to the issues identified during the December 2023 test at 25,662 miles. The tester flagged an offside rear wheel bearing with slight play and a nearside front outer tyre worn to the legal limit. While the subsequent tests did not repeat these specific faults, a physical inspection is required to ensure the wheel bearing has not degraded further and that the current tyre set provides adequate grip. Given the Jimny's construction, checking the chassis for early-stage corrosion is also advisable, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail structural integrity advisories.
