2017 Suzuki Baleno 1.0L Petrol · NV17 AEJ

This Suzuki Baleno presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 19 January 2026 at 52,699 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates over the last few years, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,855 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady, increasing from 42,598 miles in January 2023 to 52,699 miles by January 2026. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or prolonged periods of standing, which often lead to perished seals or seized calipers. The record shows a failure on 16 January 2025 at 49,986 miles, though the tester recorded no specific defects in the provided data. This likely indicates a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately, as the car passed nine days later at the same mileage. The total absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions across five tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests a high standard of preventative care. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that do not always trigger MOT failures but degrade with age. Check the condition of the tyre sidewalls for cracking due to the low annual mileage and inspect the battery health. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, verifying the service history for oil changes and filter replacements is essential to ensure the engine has been maintained despite the low usage.
