2005 Suzuki Liana 1.6L Petrol · CT05 AEL

The 2005 Suzuki Liana presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a pass at its most recent MOT on 26 October 2024 at 108,872 miles. Despite recorded failures in 2023 and 2024, both occurred on the same day as the subsequent passes and list no defects, indicating immediate rectifications of minor items such as blown bulbs or wiper blades rather than recurring mechanical faults. The absence of advisories or defects across the recorded history demonstrates consistent baseline roadworthiness. However, the lack of a valid MOT certificate as of July 2026 means the vehicle's current structural and mechanical condition requires a fresh, in-person assessment. The mileage pattern reflects light, consistent use rather than long periods of inactivity. Between 18 October 2022 at 94,379 miles and 25 October 2023 at 102,134 miles, the Liana covered 7,755 miles. This accumulation dropped slightly to 6,738 miles over the following year, reaching 108,872 miles by 26 October 2024. This annual mileage aligns with the vehicle's low overall average of roughly 5,184 miles per year, suggesting regular, short-to-medium distance driving rather than sustained motorway touring or prolonged standing. With no recurring mechanical faults or structural advisories recorded, a buyer should focus on age-related deterioration typical of a two-decade-old vehicle. Inspect all rubber suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links for perishing and cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dry rot rather than wear. Check the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion caused by standing, and examine the exhaust system for rust. A thorough inspection of the tyre sidewalls for date codes and cracking remains essential, as older tyres with ample tread can still present structural risks.
