2017 Suzuki Jimny 1.3L Petrol · WK17 WWH

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a significant failure on June 15, 2026 at 39,029 miles. The maintenance trend is worsening rapidly, transitioning from minor consumable issues to critical structural failures. While the vehicle passed in September 2025, the most recent test identified excessive corrosion on the nearside and offside front suspension mounting areas. This represents a severe decline in the structural integrity of the chassis compared to just one year prior. At nine years old, the recorded 39,029 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 4,337 miles per year. This low usage pattern explains the recurring perishing of the tyres, which were flagged across 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests. However, low mileage often correlates with vehicles sitting stationary for extended periods, which likely contributed to the accelerated corrosion seen on the brake hoses and the structural components identified in the most recent tests. A buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the chassis and suspension mounting points. The record shows a progression of rust, moving from a minor brake hose ferrule issue in 2025 to structural failures on the rear chassis in September 2025, and finally to the front suspension mounts in June 2026. These are not surface issues but indicate deep systemic decay of the vehicle's frame. Furthermore, the consistent cracking across multiple tyres suggests the rubber has aged out and requires immediate replacement regardless of the remaining tread depth.
