2016 Suzuki Baleno 1.0L Petrol · SW66 KWD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean recent inspection history. The most recent MOT conducted on 02 May 2025 at 14,639 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. Following a brief failure in May 2024, the vehicle has maintained a consistent record, suggesting that any previously identified mechanical issues were rectified immediately. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,464 miles per year. Data shows consistent low-usage patterns, such as the 1,128 miles driven between December 2022 and July 2023, and the 2,711 miles covered between July 2023 and May 2024. This pattern suggests the car is likely used for short trips or sits for extended periods. While this reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber parts and fluid breakdown due to a lack of regular use. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs associated with low-mileage stationary storage. Low mileage often leads to flat spotting on tyres, perished suspension bushes, and seized brake calipers due to lack of movement. The tester recorded no structural corrosion issues, but a physical check of the underbody is necessary to ensure surface rust remains minimal. Verify the condition of the cooling system and brake fluid, as these components can degrade over a decade regardless of the low distance recorded on the odometer.
