2004 Suzuki Jimny 1.3L Petrol · LR04 AFU

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 14 February 2026 at 44,185 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a sequence of consecutive passes dating back to February 2022, indicating a reliable testing history without recurring failures or escalating mechanical issues. The recorded mileage of 44,185 miles is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,008 miles per year. The data shows a very steady and slow accumulation of distance, such as the 520-mile increase between the March 2025 test at 43,604 miles and the February 2026 test. This pattern suggests the vehicle has seen very light usage or has been subject to long periods of inactivity, which can sometimes lead to secondary issues despite the low mileage. While the MOT record shows no immediate structural or mechanical failures, the low annual mileage and age require a specific physical inspection. A buyer should carefully check for signs of deterioration caused by standing, such as perished rubber components, perished suspension bushes, or seized brake calipers. Given the Suzuki Jimny's design, a thorough inspection of the chassis for surface corrosion or structural rust is essential, as MOT tests do not always capture early-stage oxidation that may not yet be a failure. The absence of advisories regarding tyre tread or wiper blades in recent years suggests basic upkeep is being maintained. However, because the vehicle has covered so little ground, the buyer should verify that the service history matches this low-mileage usage. Specifically, check the condition of all fluid types and the integrity of the drive belts and hoses, which can degrade through age rather than wear.
