Question 3

What should I check when buying a used 2013 Suzuki Jimny in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Request as much service history as possible — regular servicing matters more than the seller's promises. Inspect the chassis, sills and arches for rust — especially on older, coastal or off-road-used cars. Test drive at open-road speed — both generations feel busy at 100km/h, so make sure it suits you. Run a PPSR check and review the WOF history before committing to purchase. Compare condition and service records across listings — with strong demand, the best-kept example is the safest buy.
