2018 Suzuki Baleno 1.2L Petrol · RF18 CXS

This Suzuki Baleno is in a stable and roadworthy condition based on the available data. The most recent MOT test on 3 July 2025 at 16,714 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes over the last three years, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,089 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between July 2024 and July 2025, where the odometer rose from 9,392 to 16,714 miles. This jump suggests a shift in usage patterns after a period of very light use. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day, specifically on 30 May 2023 and 4 July 2024, though the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified immediately on site. Because the MOT history is devoid of advisories, there are no specific mechanical red flags such as suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks to highlight. However, the low overall mileage and periods of light use increase the risk of components degrading due to inactivity. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres for age related cracking or flat spots and check for any signs of brake caliper binding. Checking the fluid levels and looking for perished rubber seals or belts is advised given the vehicle's age. While the DVSA record is clean, the lack of documented wear on consumables suggests the car has lived a sheltered life, but it requires a manual check to ensure that long periods of standing have not compromised the battery health or fuel system integrity.
