Reliability
The Suzuki Jimny has an average MOT pass rate of 77.2%, which is 11.2 percentage points below the Suzuki brand average of 88.4%. This is a reasonable result that reflects typical UK reliability standards. Regular servicing and addressing advisories promptly will help keep your Jimny on the road.
The most common reasons a Suzuki Jimny fails its MOT are body, cab or chassis excessively corroded at a mounting point, emissions levels exceed default limits, the strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any seat belt anchorage (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired. If you are preparing your Jimny for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.
Before buying a used Suzuki Jimny, we recommend checking the full MOT history, write-off status, outstanding finance, and stolen vehicle status. These checks can be done for free using the registration number.
