2007 Suzuki Liana 1.6L Petrol · CV57 ORP

The most recent MOT test on 9 March 2026 shows a pass, but the vehicle exhibits a pattern of recurring mechanical advisories. The maintenance trend appears stable in terms of passing tests, yet several issues persist across multiple years. Specifically, the rear coil springs have been flagged for corrosion on both sides in every recorded test from February 2024 through to March 2026. The front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints also showed slight play in 2025 and have reappeared as an advisory in the 2026 test. The vehicle has covered 108,056 miles over its 19-year lifespan, averaging approximately 5,687 miles per year. This represents relatively low annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The records show a significant cluster of activity between February 2024 and March 2026, including a failure in February 2025. This failure was due to a split offside front outer drive shaft CV boot and excessive play in the nearside front wheel bearing. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and drivetrain components. The repeated advisories for corroded rear coil springs suggest ongoing structural degradation that may require replacement. The recurring play in the anti-roll bar linkages and the previous failure regarding the wheel bearing indicate that the front suspension system requires close monitoring. The braking system also shows a history of wear. The tester flagged worn and pitted front brake discs in March 2025, and these remained an advisory through the 2026 test. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should check for signs of seized components or uneven wear caused by infrequent use. The recent advisory regarding a deteriorated front registration plate and a damaged mirror are minor cosmetic and visibility issues but should be noted. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
