We had a customer bring us a car, which was a four year old new shape Jimny, JB74.
It had undergone a full underbody treatment pretty much from new, and the owner was concerned about the amount of rust on the chassis, frame, and generally the underbody parts which were starting to look a little worse for wear, on such a new car.
We removed the bumpers, gave it a thorough inspection, and were quite surprised at the level of rust starting to show.
All underbody parts were cleaned up and treated with Dinitrol rust converter, followed by Dinitrol underbody protection.
It was a spur of the moment to document the process, and we're glad we did, as it shows two things.
1 - If you're going to have an underbody treatment, be very clear exactly what is and isn't going to be treated, and wheat will and will not be removed (the bumper removal is essential)
2 - There are many parts under the car, which will start to show signs of rust, in a very short space of time.
Be proactive- be thorough!!

I have a 2012 Jimny in the South of France, with absolutely no underbody corrosion! A clear illustration of the effect of salt treatment to uk roads in the winter, and the resultant corrosion.

I know, it is the absolute core reason for shortening the lifespan of cars. I would be behind the abolition of salt. It's put down when it's unnecessary, it's missed when it's needed, it costs a fortune and is unavoidable. The cars we bring in (15 years old some of them) are in incredible condition, just like yours, Australia, South Africa etc. etc. It really is an eye opener, that so many people are unaware of. Is your Jimny a left hand drive?

l can't believe how bad the rust is on this car, if it had no treatment when new the underside would probably be an MOT failure, these Jimnys seem to be very prone to rust and to me an indication of poor build quality, l thought Defenders were bad but at least my 2007 model lasted 13 years before rust overtook the chassis.

I have had my Jimny Gen 4 from new, so 4 years and 4 months or so old now and my underbody is nothing like that, God knows why it is so bad ? I regularly drive off road, get it muddy as anything as I'm an angler and drive on river banks. It has never been treated from factory either, however I regularly jet wash underneath the car maybe that is the difference ?@@clooperman3745

It's too early to tell, but I wouldn't imagine so, unless they have a design flaw.

Depends on where you live and if they salt the roads. Not gonna happen like this in Australia, South Africa etc.

It can be an issue anywhere in the world if you live near the sea, as the seas breeze can put salt on your car. But no - it's mainly just the UK who have a ridiculously low minimum tyre tread depth (1.6mm) so the local councils salt the roads to ensure the safety of motorists driving around with virtually bald tyres, for the sake of a handful of days a year. Which systematically destroys cars, especially 4x4's with ladder frame chassis.

they are quite overpriced for having such a low quality built...

It's a supply and demand thing - they're popular, pretty unique in the small 4x4 market, and hard to get hold of worldwide.
