2016 SUZUKI CELERIO1.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful pass in March 2026, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test at 41,767 miles initially resulted in a failure due to critically thinned front brake pads and a defective offside windscreen wiper. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the immediate failure suggests the previous owner only addressed repairs when forced by the MOT tester rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 41,767 miles over ten years, the Suzuki Celerio shows low annual mileage, averaging approximately 4,177 miles per year. This low usage profile typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it often leads to degradation of rubber components due to age. Between February 2024 and March 2026, the vehicle covered nearly 7,000 miles, yet it failed for structural tyre failures and worn brake components. This indicates that the condition of the components is dictated more by age and potential neglect than by mileage-related wear. A buyer should focus their inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The March 2025 test at 38,786 miles flagged worn lower suspension arm bushes on both sides, and while this did not cause a failure at the time, these components are prone to cracking over time. Furthermore, the failure in February 2024 for structural tears in the rear tyres suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods. Inspect the current tyres for sidewall cracking and check the brake calipers for binding or corrosion, which are common on low-mileage vehicles that are driven infrequently.
