Our Verdict
Avoid this vehicle unless significant repairs are confirmed. Multiple critical MOT failures and high mileage suggest potential mechanical risks.
Prioritise a full mechanical inspection of the braking system, focusing on worn discs, corroded hoses, and uneven brake balance. Check for oil leaks from hubs and inspect wheel bearings for wear. Verify if the 2025 MOT failures were addressed, particularly the corroded brake pipes and swivel bush issues. Negotiate heavily due to the repair history, and request full service records to confirm maintenance. Be cautious of potential hidden costs from repeated failures.
The 1.3L petrol engine offers decent fuel economy (around 35-40 mpg), but corrosion-related repairs may increase maintenance costs. As a 2018 model, it falls in a mid-range tax band (£140-£155 annually). Insurance group is likely average for a small SUV. Expect higher-than-usual maintenance costs due to brake and suspension issues, with annual running costs estimated at £1,000-£1,300.
Inspect brake discs for continued wear and check for brake fluid leaks. Examine all brake hoses for corrosion, especially near the chassis. Test wheel bearings for play and listen for unusual noises. Look for oil leaks around hubs and suspension components. Verify the condition of the front drive shaft joint (noted in 2024 MOT) and ensure tyres are replaced if worn below 3mm tread. Check for rust on underbody components, as corrosion has been a recurring issue.
This 2018 Suzuki Jimny has a mixed MOT history, with recent failures highlighting brake, corrosion, and suspension issues. While the 2023 MOT showed no defects, subsequent checks reveal recurring problems. At 132,168 miles, the mileage is above average for its age, increasing concerns about long-term reliability.
No aggregate data available for the Suzuki Jimny, but this vehicle's history indicates potential susceptibility to corrosion and brake system wear.
