Our Verdict
The 2019 Suzuki Jimny presents a mixed picture. While most MOTs show no defects, the recent failure highlights potential mechanical concerns that require careful inspection before purchase.
Prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection of the rear wheel bearings and suspension components, which failed in the 2025 MOT. Check for rust or off-road damage consistent with the Jimny's rugged design. Request full service history to verify if the wheel bearing issues were addressed. Negotiate the price to account for the recent failure, but the vehicle's overall reliability and off-road capability may offset some concerns. Be cautious of any recurring issues with the windscreen wipers, which failed to clear the glass in the 2025 test.
The 1.5L petrol engine offers decent fuel economy, with typical urban/combined figures around 35-40 mpg. As a Euro 6 DG vehicle, it incurs £155 annual road tax. Insurance groups for the Jimny typically range from 15-20, resulting in moderate premiums. Maintenance costs may increase due to the 2025 wheel bearing failures - expect £200-£400 per bearing replacement. With regular servicing, annual running costs should total £800-£1,000.
Focus on the rear wheel bearings, which showed play and noise in the 2025 MOT. Check for uneven tire wear or vibrations that might indicate ongoing suspension issues. Inspect the windscreen wiper blades and arms for wear, as they failed to clear the glass effectively. Examine the chassis for off-road damage or rust, particularly around the underbody. Verify that the vehicle's service history includes repairs for the identified issues. Test all four wheels for unusual noises or play when jacked up.
This 2019 Suzuki Jimny has a generally clean MOT history with only one failure in 2025. The vehicle has covered 32,118 miles (slightly above average for its age) and features a 1.5L petrol engine meeting Euro 6 DG standards. While no aggregate reliability data exists for the Jimny model, the recent MOT failures suggest potential suspension component issues.
While no aggregate data exists for the Suzuki Jimny, the model is generally regarded as a durable, reliable off-road vehicle. However, this specific example shows potential issues with suspension components that may require attention.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2019 model year cars.
- Chassis Corrosion (Lack of Protection)Moderate
The factory underseal is minimal, leading to early surface rust on the ladder frame.
- Fuel Pump Impeller SwellingSerious
A recall was issued for fuel pumps with a defective impeller material that can swell over time, particularly due to ethanol content in modern fuel. This can cause the pump to stop working and the engine to stall without warning.
- Rear Wheel Bearing FailureModerate
The rear wheel bearings can fail prematurely, especially on cars that have been used off-road or fitted with oversized tyres. The bearings are relatively inexpensive but labour-intensive to replace.
