2019 Suzuki Baleno 1.2L Petrol · WA19 YPX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift from pristine condition to emerging mechanical wear. While the car passed its tests between 2022 and 2025 without defects, the most recent inspection in May 2026 at 36,832 miles flagged several items. The presence of thin brake pads, worn discs, and a deteriorated nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint suggests that the vehicle is now entering a phase where preventative maintenance no longer be overlooked. The mileage profile is consistently low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,260 miles per year. The data shows steady usage over time, moving from 16,272 miles in July 2022 to 36,832 miles in May 2026. However, the 2024 test at 23,949 miles noted perishing and cracking on the front tyres. This issue is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods, causing the rubber to degrade despite the low physical distance driven. A buyer should prioritize the front braking system and suspension components during a physical inspection. The 2026 record specifically identifies both front brake discs as worn and the pads as thin, necessitating a full front axle service to ensure optimal stopping performance. Additionally, the deteriorated dust cover on the anti-roll bar linkage should be checked for grease leakage to prevent premature joint failure. Given the previous history of tyre perishing, the age of the current rubber should be verified for sidewall cracking, regardless of the remaining tread depth.
