2002 Suzuki Jimny 1.3L Petrol · MH02 KCZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in December 2021 at 73,734 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle met all statutory safety requirements. Following a single failure in August 2018, the car has passed consecutive annual inspections without incident, suggesting that any initial mechanical issues were addressed and have remained resolved. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,072 miles per year. Between September 2020 and December 2021, the car covered only 8,844 miles, which points to infrequent use or long periods of storage. While this low mileage generally reduces wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests on a vehicle of this age can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, seized brake calipers, or fluid contamination, which the MOT does not always detect during stationary testing. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches, as this model of Jimny is prone to corrosion regardless of mileage. Although the MOT record shows no recurring faults, the lack of advisories means the state of the suspension bushes and coil springs remains unverified. Focus on checking the brake discs for pitting and the tyres for age related cracking, as low-usage vehicles often suffer from uneven wear or material fatigue over time.
