The SUZUKI BALENO (1995-02) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.8 16V GSR is a compact, three-door hatchback from Suzuki’s 1995-02 range. It sits among practical, affordable alternatives to the Ford Escort and Vauxhall Astra, but is a less familiar sight on today’s used-car market. This GSR pairs everyday hatchback usefulness with a larger engine and a sportier feel. mycarcheck.com records show 23 look-ups across 16 distinct VINs, so the sample is modest rather than a full picture of the market. The checks give an average private-sale valuation of £300, average recorded mileage of 90,000 miles and annual mileage of 4,000 miles. The average keeper count is just over five, useful context when checking a specific car’s history and condition. For commutes and errands, it may suit an enthusiast wanting an inexpensive, distinctive runabout, rather than someone needing family space or newer safety features. Its rarity and GSR identity stand out; inspect condition carefully.
