2014 Suzuki Jimny 1.3L Petrol · MD63 MDN

This vehicle has a current MOT as of May 2026, but it only passed after failing earlier that month due to excessive wear and splitting of the rear suspension arm bushes. The mechanical trend is concerning and appears to be worsening. In 2024, the records showed early signs of corrosion on the fuel and brake pipes, along with corroded discs. By 2025, this escalated to a fractured front coil spring and significant brake efficiency and imbalance failures. The most recent failure in 2026 regarding the suspension bushes suggests a continuing decline in the condition of the chassis and suspension components. The mileage is very low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging under 5,000 miles per year. While low mileage often suggests less wear, the evidence here suggests the opposite. The presence of perishing tyres, splitting rubber bushes, and corrosion on pipes and discs is a strong indicator that the car may have spent long periods standing or has been exposed to a harsh environment. This type of deterioration is often more damaging than the wear seen on a high-mileage vehicle. A buyer should first verify the quality of the recent suspension bush replacements to ensure they were properly repaired rather than patched.
