Our Verdict

A highly attractive option for city driv

Given the extremely low mileage of 4,641 miles over eight years, your primary focus should be on whether the vehicle has been serviced regularly. Low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from 'short-trip syndrome,' where the engine does not reach optimal operating temperatures frequently enough. Check the service book to ensure oil changes have occurred at regular intervals regardless of distance covered.

When negotiating, ask for evidence of any recent maintenance beyond the MOT. While the MOT history is clean, the low mileage means components like tyres or batteries might be ageing due to time rather than wear. Ensure the 998cc engine runs smoothly and that the windscreen wipers (which caused a failure in 2023) are performing well.

The Celerio is designed for economy, featuring a small 998.0cc petrol engine that typically sits in a low insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy should be high, making it ideal for urban environments.

Maintenance costs for this model are generally low, as it is a simple mechanical design. Expect typical running costs to be comprised mainly of fuel, low-cost servicing, and standard consumables like tyres. The estimated annual running cost is relatively modest compared to larger hatchbacks.

Based on the MOT history, the only recorded defect was a failure in May 2023 regarding the front windscreen wipers failing to clear the glass effectively. Inspect the wiper blades and the wiper motor to ensure they operate smoothly without streaking.

Beyond the MOT records, inspect the tyres for age-related cracking, as low-mileage vehicles can have tyres that look new but are structurally old. Check the braking system and suspension components, as these are common areas for inspection on any used vehicle, even those with low recorded mileage.

This 2018 white Suzuki Celerio has covered just 4,641 miles since its first registration in May 2018, which is significantly lower than the model average of 5,243 miles per year. The MOT history is largely clean, showing four consecutive passes without defects since a single wiper-related failure in 2023. It represents a very low-use example of this 998cc petrol model.

The Suzuki Celerio shows a high average MOT pass rate of 89.2% across the analysed sample, suggesting a generally reliable platform.
