2016 Suzuki Celerio 1.0L Petrol · BA16 SWU

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-23 recorded multiple issues, including all four tyres perishing, a nail in the offside rear tyre, and windscreen wipers failing to clear the windscreen. This test was marked as both passed and failed, which may indicate conflicting findings or data entry errors. The tyre perishing and damage suggest potential neglect or exposure to environmental factors, as low mileage can lead to rubber degradation if the vehicle is not regularly driven. Recurring tyre-related defects dominate the history, with perishing, cracking, or damage noted in 2023, 2024, and 2025. These issues were consistently linked to the rear tyres, though front tyres were also mentioned in 2024. The 2024 MOT also flagged thin front brake pads, indicating wear on braking components. No other major defects were recorded, but the pattern suggests ongoing concerns with rubber and wear items. The trend shows no clear worsening of mechanical issues, as most defects were addressed in subsequent tests. However, the repeated tyre problems raise questions about storage conditions or maintenance practices. The vehicle’s low mileage (2,387 miles per year) could mean lighter use, but also longer periods of inactivity, which may accelerate rubber component failure.
