High Mileage 2006 Jimny

High Mileage 2006 Jimny was created by oldgazzer
I purchased a high mileage 2006 Jimny with 131,000 on the clock. The body is solid and has been well looked after. Very happy with my purchase although I think I might have paid a tad over the odds for it. When looking to buy I was surprised how much secondhand Jimny's were being advertised for.
Just curious to hear how many miles other peoples Jimny's have done. Paid just under £4,000 for mine. I did see some slightly cheaper but they didn't look as good as the one I ended up with.

If the engine has been looked after you will have no issues at this mileage
Is it hard or soft top ?
If it's the vvt engine you can always change it out for M15 or 16
15vvt comes from ignis 16 from liana

It is the VVT also the hard top. The engine seems fine as no oil leaks and sounds ok. I have had to replace the coil packs and plugs also it needed a complete exhaust inc cat converter, which wasn't cheap.

Had to calculate now as we use kilometers here.
This milage is not uncommon. Drove one that had done over 200000 miles and it was running fine. Was not so easy to sell here with rust so it was exported.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I just checked with dotgov and my old 2000 one is still MOT'd & taxed and has done 160,000 now, it had done 127k when I sold it and was running fine.
I shouldn't have traded it in for the gen 4, IIRC I got £850 for it, it is probably worth well over £2000 now.........

As a rule of thumb, gen 3 Jimnys have doubled in price since 2020. Many now cost considerably more than they did when new. It's the unavailability of new ones combined with the general lift in used car values.
