Second opinion on a second Jimny was created by throwyourbike
Hi everyone,
My wife and I are considering buying another Jimny to sit alongside our 2023…. his and hers lol
A 2005 model with 40k miles on it has come up at a local dealership.
The salesman very kindly put it up on a ramp and took some photos of the underside for me and to my untrained eye it looks pretty clean.
Obviously I need to see it in person and check behind the headlights etc. but I’ve viewed much rougher examples half the age.
I guess I’m just looking for a second opinion from people with more experience.
What do you reckon?

Always difficult to tell from some photos. If you have the registration (number plate) check the MOT history on
www.gov.uk/check-mot-history
That will give you a clue if it has had problems.

Thanks DrRobin
It failed an MOT in 2018 and again in 2023.
I’m in Northern Ireland and it’s a Northern Ireland car, so I can’t see what it failed on unfortunately.
