2018 Suzuki Baleno 1.0L Petrol · HG67 CVN

The Suzuki Baleno presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend anchored by three consecutive first-time passes. In the most recent test conducted on January 16, 2024, at an unspecified mileage, the vehicle cleared the examination with zero defects or advisories recorded. This spotless outcome mirrors earlier tests on January 10, 2023, and January 11, 2022, both of which also passed without a single fault noted by the examiner. With an aggregate total of 63,603 miles accumulated over roughly eight years, the vehicle averages about 7,950 miles annually, placing it squarely within typical UK driving parameters. The provided MOT extract is notably sparse regarding detailed mileage progression between 2022 and 2024, yet the uniform nature of the annual testing cadence indicates consistent calendar-year use. This mileage accrual rate suggests neither severe commercial flogging nor detrimental long-term storage, striking a healthy balance for mechanical longevity. Prospective buyers must interpret the total absence of historical advisories with careful scrutiny, noting that clean paperwork occasionally masks deferred maintenance rather than perfection. Physical inspection should prioritize consumable items like brake discs and pads, alongside suspension components such as anti-roll bar links and coil springs, which frequently escape notice on digital test sheets but wear out on hatchbacks of this age. Buyers should also verify the underbody structural integrity for surface corrosion on the subframes and exhaust system during a ramp inspection.
