2004 Suzuki Jimny 1.3L Petrol · WM04 WHW

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on August 12, 2025 at 102,264 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by successful re-tests. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed its initial presentation but passed within days of the first inspection. This suggests that the owner is reactive in addressing specific faults once flagged by the tester rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle 22 years old age, averaging approximately 4,648 miles per year. Between July 2023 and August 2024, the car covered 4,638 miles, showing remarkable consistency in annual usage compared to the previous interval. The accumulation remains steady over the years. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing on vehicles of this age often lead to the degradation of rubber-related components, such as suspension bushes and brake lines, which can perish and crack regardless of distance travelled. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and structural sills, as these models are prone to hidden corrosion that may not always surface during a standard MOT. Despite the lack of advisories, the age of the vehicle increases the risk of structural rust in the mounting points and exhaust hangers. Inspect the braking system for seized calipers or pitted discs, as low-mileage use frequently results in components sticking up. Given the history of recent failures, verify that the specific items which caused the previous failures have been properly replaced or repaired rather than just given temporary fixes.
