2002 Suzuki Liana 1.6L Petrol · YH02 AYF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding structural integrity. While it passed the most recent test in May 2026 at 24,755 miles, the tester identified new corrosion on the lower integral body structure and the rear sub-frame. This represents a progression from the 2024 test where only the sub-frame and brake pipes were noted. The presence of structural rust across multiple areas suggests that environmental oxidation is actively occurring despite the passing result. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,031 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between June 2022 and June 2023, where the car covered only 3,277 miles, followed by 1,634 miles over the next three years. This low mileage explains the lack of mechanical wear on the drivetrain components, but the long periods of standing likely correlate with the observed corrosion issues, as lack of movement can accelerate the degradation of metal components and brake systems. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underside to assess the depth of the rust. The recurring failures of brake pipes in 2024 and 2026, combined with the corroded rear sub-frame and suspension arms, indicate that the metalwork lines are thinning and may soon require immediate replacement. Particular attention should be paid to the rear suspension, as the records already show a fractured coil spring in 2022 and general corrosion across all rear components.
