SUZUKI JIMNY (1998-18) 3DR HARDTOP SUV 1.3 VVT 85 SZ3
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The SUZUKI JIMNY (1998-18) 3DR HARDTOP SUV 1.3 VVT 85 SZ3 is a small, three-door 4x4, rather than a roomy family SUV. Its upright shape, short body and off-road ability give it a distinctive place in the UK used-car market, appealing to drivers wanting a compact vehicle for country lanes, rough tracks and town parking.
Checks at mycarcheck.com cover 397 look-ups and 165 different VINs, providing a useful snapshot of used examples. The recorded average private-sale valuation is £7,400, with average mileage of 58,000 and annual use of about 4,000 miles. Vehicles checked had around 2.4 previous keepers on average, so buyers should assess each car’s history and condition individually.
The Jimny’s compact size and off-road character distinguish it from softer small SUVs, though its three-door cabin and limited space suit fewer families or long journeys. It best suits adventurous singles or couples wanting a characterful second car.
A Jimny can hide outstanding finance, an insurance write-off, damage, clocked mileage or a theft marker. Enter the reg now—skip the check and the cost could be yours.
