2017 Suzuki Celerio 1.0L Petrol · KT17 AEG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the most recent MOT on 8 July 2026 at 39,437 miles indicates a decline in basic consumable maintenance. While the car passed its latest test, the tester flagged multiple tyre issues, including near-legal tread depth on the nearside front and offside rear, alongside cracking and perishing on the nearside rear tyre. This follows a pattern of tyre-related advisories seen as far back as the June 2020 test, suggesting that while the vehicle remains mechanically functional, the owner has been reactive rather than proactive regarding tyre replacement. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 4,382 miles per year. The records show a consistent, gradual increase in distance, moving from 20,499 miles in June 2021 to 39,437 miles in July 2026. This low-use pattern often implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but the presence of perishing rubber in the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests the vehicle may sit idle for extended periods, which can lead to age-related degradation of seals and tyres regardless of distance travelled. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. The MOT history shows a recurring trend of thinning front brake pads, specifically noted in the June 2022, June 2024, and June 2025 tests. This indicates a consistent wear rate that requires monitoring to ensure the discs have not been scored by prolonged use of thin pads. The handbrake travel was also flagged as high in June 2024, which may suggest the need for adjustment or an inspection of the rear brake mechanism. Beyond the brakes, the recent advisories regarding tyre sidewall damage and cracking necessitate a thorough check of all four tyres for structural integrity. The 2020 record noted front-end damage where the fan cowling was touching the exhaust, so a visual check of the engine bay for heat damage or loose trim remains advisable. Overall, the vehicle appears to be a low-mileage example that requires attention to routine consumable items to maintain its roadworthy status.
