Price range
P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
Down payment
MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
Availability
High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

Brand reliability
Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
Resale strength
100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
Peer set
Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
Quadrants
The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

Verdict

Suzuki's cult off-road kei / compact 4x4 — K15B 1.5L petrol. Body-on-frame + ladder chassis + part-time 4WD. Cult-collector status; SG market sees these via parallel import. Cars 1-7 years old. Engine bulletproof; aged-Suzuki items dominate.

Decay

What's good

  • JB74 1.5L with documented Suzuki service — boring durable cult off-road. Mechanically simple.
  • Private-history with documented Japanese auction sheet — parallel import paperwork.

What to watch

  • Modified Jimny with track / off-road abuse history — chassis + suspension wear faster than mileage suggests.
  • Patchy service history with no Suzuki paper trail — Suzuki dealer paperwork is the durability signal.

Common questions about the Suzuki Jimny

How much does a used Suzuki Jimny cost in Singapore?
Most used Suzuki Jimny on the market are around 2 years old, asking roughly S$153k–S$156k (typically about S$154k). That's the age with the widest choice — and the most sellers competing, so it's where you'll have the most room to bargain.
How much does a used Suzuki Jimny depreciate per year?
A used Suzuki Jimny loses value at a fairly steady pace — around 9% a year — with no real plateau. An older one costs less but keeps falling at much the same rate, so there's no single 'bargain age': buy on price and condition, not on timing.
Is the Suzuki Jimny reliable?
In our read, the Suzuki Jimny scores 80 out of 100 on brand reliability. That still varies by generation and how the individual car was looked after, so always check the service history before you commit.
What should I expect to pay for a used Suzuki Jimny with a given mileage?
It depends on the exact variant, age and mileage — a higher-mileage car should ask less. Use the price modeller on this page to get a fair-price range for a specific age and mileage, so you know what to offer.
Where do these Suzuki Jimny figures come from?
They're worked out from current used-Suzuki Jimny listings in Singapore — asking prices, mileage and registration years — not past transaction prices. We refresh them regularly, and we flag thin data rather than guess.
