2007 Suzuki Jimny 1.3L Petrol · WF07 ORL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 17 September 2025 at 27 930 miles. The pass follows a series of failures in 2025, 2024 and earlier years that were largely due to extensive corrosion of suspension components, chassis mounting areas and brake pipe work. The trend appears to have stabilised – the latest test recorded no outright failure, yet the same corrosion‑related advisories persist, indicating that the underlying condition has not markedly improved. Mileage has remained exceptionally low for a 19‑year‑old car, rising from 26 866 miles in August 2020 to 27 930 miles in September 2025 – an increase of just 1 064 miles over five years, roughly 210 miles per annum. No sudden spikes or large gaps are evident; the odometer progression suggests light, infrequent use rather than high‑stress mileage accumulation. This low‑usage profile aligns with the modest wear seen on consumables such as tyres, which are only noted as slightly damaged or perishing. A prospective buyer should focus on the recurring structural and corrosion issues highlighted throughout the record. Inspect the underside for pervasive rust on suspension bushes, anti‑roll bar brackets and chassis mounting points, especially around the nearside front and offside rear spring mounting areas where excessive corrosion was flagged in 2024 and 2025. Verify the integrity of the front and rear brake pipes for grease‑covered corrosion and confirm that any fluid leaks from swivel oil seals are resolved. Examine the windscreen for the documented damage and ensure the wiper blades operate correctly, as failures were recorded in 2021 and 2022. Finally, check the tyre tread depth and condition of the brake hoses, as slight corrosion to ferrules and tyre cracking were noted repeatedly. Addressing these points will determine whether the vehicle’s remaining service life justifies its low mileage.
