I may be way out,but if its in very good condition and with such a low mileage it could vary from maybe £1700 -£2000 if its below that then it could be seen as a bargain.

Probably miles out but good luck anyway.

I've seen Jimny's that age go for £700, and others claim near £2,000. Depends on condition, but I'd be trying to get it for closer to £1200, personally.

(The £700 jimny had no MOT).

Any rust starting in the rear floor. That seems to be a good indication of condition.

Probably isn't hiding anything.

When we were looking a good judge for the condition of the rest of the vehicle seemed to be to message the seller and ask them about the boot floor. I rots right under the rear seat bottoms and also around the bottom of the boot shut area.

Poke at the offending area...if it's not as described walk away or make a silly offer.

T reg I'd say a grand max.
If it ticks over...leave it
