Think my 2003 Jimny is around £250 a year to tax.

01-05 has more reliable gearbox. But as they're getting on a bit now it seems hard to find a solid one. As Lambert says above, places on body that seem to go first are boot floor (especially under the jack) and behind the headlights.

Seats are simple to fold down. Suzuki sell a load liner to go in the boot and over the folded seats, they come up 2nd hand every now and then. Or if you didn't need the rear seats then they're easy to remove.

The one you've linked above is fairly strong money in my opinion. But it must be one of the last ones before they went to VVT and later gearbox. Which I think is a positive. MOT history on it looks good and mileage seems to match up with the MOTs. But you'll never know until you go and have a good look at it, get underneath and have a good tap around chassis and body mounts etc and go out for a decent test drive.
