Our Verdict
A highly attractive prospect due to its
Given the extremely low mileage, the primary concern is whether the vehicle has suffered from 'standing' issues or rust. You should specifically ask for evidence that the chassis corrosion and coil spring issues noted in the 2022 and 2023 MOTs were professionally repaired rather than just cleaned. Check the service history for oil changes; vehicles with such low usage still require periodic fluid changes to maintain engine health.
Negotiate based on the age of the rubber components. Despite the low mileage, the vehicle is nearly 20 years old, and the 2023 MOT already noted worn bushes on the rear lower shock absorbers. Check if these, and the tyres, have been replaced recently due to age-related perishing.
Powered by a 1328cc petrol engine, this Jimny offers simple mechanicals but modest fuel economy compared to modern crossovers. It falls into a standard tax bracket for its era, and its insurance group is typically low, making it an affordable vehicle to keep on the road.
Annual maintenance should be kept low given the mileage, but budget for the replacement of aging rubber seals and hoses. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, are likely to be between £1,100 and £1,400 depending on usage.
The chassis is the most critical area to inspect. The MOT history from 2022 and 2023 explicitly mentions general corrosion to the chassis and corrosion on all four coil springs. Use a torch to inspect the frame rails and spring seats to ensure no structural rust remains, as corrosion is a top failure reason for this model across 28,294 analysed vehicles.
Additionally, inspect the rear lower shock absorber bushes, which were flagged as worn in 2023. Check the tyres for cracking or 'flat spots' resulting from long periods of inactivity, as evidenced by the very low mileage accumulation between tests.
This 2007 grey Suzuki Jimny presents an unusual opportunity with only 8,628 miles recorded as of April 2026. While the MOT history shows three passes, the 2022 and 2023 tests highlighted corrosion on the chassis and all four coil springs. The most recent test in 2026 recorded no defects, suggesting these issues may have been addressed.
The Suzuki Jimny has an average MOT pass rate of 78.2%, with corrosion and coil spring failures being among the most common issues for the model.
