2016 Suzuki Baleno 1.0L Petrol · FP16 WLB

The 2016 Suzuki Baleno presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 January 2026 at 30,684 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results from January 2022 through to the present date. Annual mileage has stayed consistently low against the vehicle's ten-year age. Records show 24,853 miles in January 2022, rising to 26,358 by January 2023, 28,147 in January 2024, 29,285 in January 2025, and 30,684 in January 2026. That equates to roughly 1,400 to 1,600 miles added each year, or about 3,068 miles annually overall. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the data. The sparse, fault-free history suggests the previous keeper used the car lightly and kept it to a basic annual test schedule without deferred examinations. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, since the MOT record shows no advisories but long periods of standing can mask moisture damage to sills and suspension mounting points. Check the condition of brake discs and calipers for any seizing after low-use storage, and verify suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing from inactivity rather than wear. Given the clean test lineage and modest yearly use, the Baleno shows no recurring mechanical or consumable faults requiring corrective action. Treat the absence of advisories as a positive sign of upkeep, but confirm tyre sidewall condition and exhaust emissions during a pre-purchase viewing.
