2016 Suzuki Baleno 1.0L Petrol · CP16 KPL

The 2016 Suzuki Baleno has a recent MOT result from 2026-05-26, recorded at 79,836 miles, which shows it passed but with multiple corrosion-related defects and tyre wear . Brake pipes were corroded and covered in grease, while all four tyres were worn close to the legal limit, with some showing edge wear. The offside front wiper arm was heavily corroded. A separate failed MOT on the same date listed additional issues, including rear brake discs worn and pitted, brake pads below 1.5mm, and headlamp aim too low. These findings suggest ongoing corrosion and component wear that may not have been fully resolved. Recurring mechanical patterns include brake pipe corrosion , suspension component rust , and tyre wear . Since 2024, brake pipes and coil springs have shown corrosion, while tyre wear has been noted multiple times. The 2025-05-19 failed MOT highlighted suspension arm ball joint dust cover failures and a faulty horn, indicating potential neglect of underbody and steering components . The 2026 MOT’s repeated corrosion issues suggest no significant improvement in maintenance despite the vehicle’s age and mileage. The vehicle’s mileage of 79,836 miles over 10 years equates to roughly 7,984 miles per year, which is typical for its age .
