2016 Suzuki Baleno 1.0L Petrol · CY16 EAP

The Suzuki Baleno presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 April 2026 at 107,533 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, so the vehicle shows no worsening or recurring defect pattern. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2016 car. The record runs from 65,134 miles on 20 April 2023 to 78,506 miles in April 2024, then 96,564 miles in April 2025 and 107,533 miles in April 2026. That equates to roughly 11,000 to 18,000 miles per year, close to the 10,753 average for its age. The data is sparse but clean, with only a failed entry on 17 April 2025 at 96,564 miles that was immediately retested and passed the same day with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or minor pre-check issue rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection despite the clear MOT trail. With 107,533 miles on the clock, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear will have accumulated even if not yet flagged. The tester recorded no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but underside rust and exhaust condition should be checked given the car is now ten years old. Tyres, wiper blades, and other consumables will be due for age-related replacement regardless of the clean record. The repeated passes with zero advisories imply the previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet a pre-purchase check of binding calipers and drivetrain noise remains sensible on a high-mileage Baleno.
