Quick summary
Total: 695 cars
The 2010 Suzuki Jimny has an overall defect rate of 245 per 100 vehicles, which is 17% lower than the average of 294 per 100 for cars of the same year. Notably, the Jimny excels in categories such as Steering, Lights & Electrics, and Wheels, Suspensions & Axles, where it shows significantly lower defect rates compared to the average. However, it is less favourable in the Body/Structure category, with a defect rate that is almost three times higher than the average. Mileage trends indicate that as the vehicle ages, the defect rate increases, particularly in the higher mileage brackets.
