2017 SUZUKI BALENO1.0L Petrol

The Suzuki Baleno presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass on 4 November 2025 at 15,121 miles. The vehicle history is remarkably consistent, with no recurring mechanical defects or structural advisories recorded over the last four years. While the 2024 test cycle shows a failed attempt followed immediately by a pass on the same day, the absence of recorded defects suggests this was likely an administrative error or a minor oversight rather than a significant mechanical failure. The vehicle has covered only 15,121 miles since its initial registration, averaging approximately 1,680 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile indicates light usage, though it also raises the possibility of extended periods of inactivity. The lack of mileage accumulation between the 2022 test at 14,446 miles and the current reading confirms the car has seen very little road time over the last three years. Such infrequent use can lead to issues related to long-term storage, such as seized brake components or perished rubber seals, even if the MOT tester did not flag these during the most recent inspection. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components prone to degradation from sitting idle. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from binding calipers due to infrequent operation. Inspect the condition of the tyres for signs of sidewall cracking or flat spots, which frequently occur when a vehicle remains stationary for long durations. Verify that the battery holds a charge effectively and check the undercarriage for any signs of surface rust on the exhaust system or suspension arms, as these parts often deteriorate faster from lack of use than from high-mileage wear.
