2016 Suzuki Baleno 1.2L Hybrid electric (clean) · KP16 VZD

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, demonstrating a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 25 February 2026 at 73,589 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean record across the previous four years, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation during the annual testing process. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,359 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 50,420 miles and March 2024 at 64,167 miles, the car covered 13,747 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The recent interval of 3,352 miles between the March 2025 and 2026 tests suggests regular but light use, which is generally beneficial for seals and drivetrain components to prevent the issues often associated with long periods of inactivity. Because the MOT history shows no advisories for binding calipers, worn bushes, or exhaust corrosion, a buyer should focus on standard consumable wear that the MOT does not capture. Physical inspection should verify the condition of the sidewalls and the state of the brake discs, as low annual mileage can sometimes lead to surface pitting if not cleaned. Checking the rubber components for cracking and verifying the service fluid levels are also prudent, though the mechanical history remains exemplary despite the age of the vehicle.
