Our Verdict
This 2019 Suzuki Jimny is a reasonable buy for someone wanting a compact 4x4, but the single MOT failure in November 2024 means it is not a flawless example. Budget for confirmation that the brake and suspension repairs from that failure were carried out properly before you commit.
Ask to see the paperwork for the November 2024 MOT failure and the subsequent pass on 21 November 2024, confirming the front brake pads and near-side rear coil spring were replaced. A Suzuki Jimny of this age with a black 1462cc petrol engine should come with a stamped service book covering the 2019 to 2026 period; verify oil changes and valve clearances given the engine's simple but specific maintenance needs. Use the recorded failure to negotiate, as a broken coil spring and worn pads suggest the car may have been used on rough terrain or not inspected regularly until the MOT caught it.
The 1.5-litre petrol Jimny is not the cheapest to run for its size, with real-world economy around 35-40 mpg and a EURO 6 AG rating placing it in a standard petrol tax band. Insurance groups for the Jimny are moderate, and being a 2019 model it avoids the heaviest first-year charges. Typical annual maintenance is low thanks to the basic mechanical layout, but 4x4 tyres and suspension parts cost more than a small hatchback; estimated annual running cost is £900-£1,100 including fuel, tax, insurance and routine servicing.
The MOT history shows a failure on 20 November 2024 for front brake pads worn to the indicator and a near-side rear coil spring fractured at 59,263 miles; although it passed the next day, physically check the front pads and the rear suspension for fresh components and no corrosion. Inspect all four coil springs for cracking, as the Jimny's short-wheelbase off-road setup is hard on suspension when used on rough ground. Check underneath for off-road damage, and confirm the black bodywork has no rust starting around the sills or wheel arches given the vehicle's age.
The Jimny (PV19FBA) shows a largely clean MOT record across 2023 to 2026, with only one failure on 20 November 2024 at 59,263 miles for worn front brake pads and a fractured near-side rear coil spring. Mileage of 67,545 at the May 2026 test is moderate for a seven-year-old petrol 4x4, and the most recent three tests recorded no defects. No aggregate model reliability data is available, so assessment rests on this vehicle's own history.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Suzuki Jimny, so this assessment is based solely on the individual history of PV19FBA.
