Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The most recent MOT test on November 21st, 2025, passed with a noted windscreen stone chip. There is no recurring mechanical pattern evident from the provided history, as only two tests are recorded, both of which have passed. The mileage of 42,541 miles over approximately five years suggests a usage rate of around 8,508 miles per year, which is generally typical for this vehicle's age. This mileage level does not strongly indicate either very light use or excessive wear on consumables or drivetrain components. The condition trend appears stable based on the limited history provided, as both recorded inspections have resulted in a pass. A buyer should first inspect the windscreen for any other chips or cracks that might be developing. Secondly, a thorough visual inspection of the suspension components and brake wear is essential given the mileage. Finally, check the service history to confirm routine maintenance has been performed as expected for a vehicle of this age and mileage.

Our Verdict

The 2021 Suzuki Jimny SN71DJZ offers good value with a clean MOT history and low mileage, though the single windscreen defect warrants minor scrutiny.

Focus on inspecting the windscreen chip for potential replacement costs and verify service history for regular maintenance. Check for signs of off-road wear given the Jimny's rugged design. Negotiate based on the vehicle's low mileage and clean MOT record, but factor in the cost of repairing the windscreen defect. Ensure the 1.5L petrol engine (Euro 6 DG) is properly maintained for fuel efficiency.

The 1.5L petrol engine offers decent fuel economy (around 35-40 mpg), placing it in a low tax band (£155/yr for 2023-2024). Insurance group 15-18 is average for a small SUV. Maintenance costs are likely moderate, with expected expenses for oil changes and minor repairs. Estimated annual running cost: £1,000-£1,200.

Inspect the windscreen chip for depth and potential replacement costs. Check suspension and underbody for off-road wear, common in Jimnys. Verify engine oil and fluid levels for leaks. Review service records to confirm regular maintenance. Test 4x4 systems if applicable. Check for rust in the UK's damp climate, particularly around wheel arches.

This 2021 Suzuki Jimny has low mileage for its age (42,541 miles) and a mostly clean MOT record. The only issue recorded was a minor windscreen chip in 2025, which did not affect driver visibility. No aggregate reliability data is available for the Jimny model, but the vehicle's history shows no major defects.

No aggregate MOT data available for the Suzuki Jimny model, making it difficult to assess broader reliability trends.
