2015 Suzuki Celerio 1.0L Petrol · CE65 MXD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive repairs regarding suspension components. After three years of clean passes without recorded defects between 2022 and 2025, the most recent test on 16 January 2026 at 78,087 miles identified severely deteriorated front suspension arm ball joint dust covers on both the offside and nearside. This failure indicates that rubber components in the steering assembly are beginning to reach the end of their functional life simultaneously. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 62,304 miles and January 2026 at 78,087 miles, the car covered 15,783 miles, representing a steady and moderate rate of use. This lack of rapid mileage accumulation suggests the strain on the drivetrain and braking system remains low, although the low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber parts and seals rather than mechanical mileage-related wear. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension to ensure that the perished ball joint covers have not allowed moisture to enter the joints, which would cause premature play or knocking noises. Given that both sides failed at once, a thorough check of the front control arms and bushings is necessary to confirm no secondary damage has occurred. While the previous history suggests the structural integrity and braking system have been stable, the buyer must verify the absence of binding calipers or uneven tyre patterns that could result from the identified suspension issues.
