2018 Suzuki Jimny 1.5L Petrol · WA68 OSF

The Jimny passed its most recent MOT on 11 June 2026 at 31,492 miles, one day after a failure on 9 June 2026 at 31,489 miles. The maintenance trend is worsening. The June 2026 failure flagged both front brake discs worn, pitted or scored and front brake pads below 1.5 mm, alongside stepped front tyre tread; the owner corrected the brakes and passed two days later. The 2025 test at 26,457 miles already noted thinning front pads and pitted discs as advisories, so the braking wear progressed from advisory to failure within twelve months. Recorded mileage sits at 31,492 over roughly eight years, an average of 3,936 miles per year. The odometer moved from 16,993 miles in June 2023 to 21,731 in May 2024, then 26,457 in June 2025, then 31,489 by June 2026. The annual increments stay near 4,500 to 5,000 miles with no gaps or sudden accumulation. Low use like this often means long stationary periods, which can let corrosion and rubber perishing develop even when mechanical wear stays light. A buyer should inspect the front brake assembly in person despite the June 2026 pass. The discs scored and pitted across two consecutive tests; new pads may mask underlying disc damage if the discs were not replaced. The stepped front tyre tread noted in both 2025 and 2026 suggests uneven wear or suspension geometry fault, likely from worn bushes or misalignment, not just consumable ageing. The towball or hitch was absent at every test from 2024 to 2026, so the rear chassis mount points for a towbar remain unverified for rust or accident repair. No structural corrosion or suspension failure appears in the record, but the 2023 clean pass gives only a three-year baseline. Check underneath for chassis corrosion and test the four-wheel alignment given the recurring tyre stepping.
