2002 Suzuki Jimny 1.3L Petrol · SK52 TLO

The vehicle shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean record of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 28 February 2024 at 70,189 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the car was in a compliant mechanical state at that time, though the MOT has now expired relative to the current date of 24 July 2026. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 24 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,925 miles per year. Between February 2021 and February 2024, the odometer climbed from 55,509 to 70,189 miles, showing a consistent usage pattern of approximately 4,500 miles annually in recent years. The failure recorded on 23 October 2020 at 55,488 miles is an anomaly as no specific defects were listed, suggesting a clerical error or a very minor issue resolved immediately. Despite the clean MOT history, the low mileage and age of this Suzuki Jimny necessitate a focused physical inspection. Vehicles that spend long periods standing often suffer from perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and coolant hoses. A buyer must check for chassis corrosion, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the underside condition, and structural rust is a common failure point for this model. Check for signs of brake caliper seizing or binding, which frequently occurs in low-mileage 4x4s. Inspect the tyre dates to ensure the rubber has not hardened over time, regardless of the remaining tread depth. Finally, verify the oil condition and service intervals to confirm that the low mileage has been accompanied by regular fluid changes.
