2015 Suzuki Celerio 1.0L Petrol · CT15 ASU

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-07 recorded a pass with several corrosion-related issues, including front sub-frame and suspension arm corrosion, brake hose ferrule corrosion, and a corroded brake pipe. These defects were also noted in earlier MOTs, indicating a recurring pattern of metal degradation in critical areas. The same vehicle failed the MOT just one day earlier (2025-10-06) with more severe brake system faults, including excessive brake binding, fluctuating brake performance, and worn brake discs. This rapid succession of pass/fail results suggests unresolved mechanical issues or potential testing inconsistencies. Recurring defects include corrosion in the front sub-frame and suspension components, which may indicate exposure to moisture or poor maintenance. Brake system issues, such as corroded hoses and worn discs, appear to have worsened between the 2024 and 2025 MOTs. While the 2025 pass addressed some concerns, the proximity of the failure and pass implies unresolved risks, particularly with brake functionality and structural integrity. The trend shows a deterioration in brake performance and persistent corrosion, raising concerns about long-term reliability. The vehicle’s mileage of 48,090 miles at 11 years old equates to roughly 4,372 miles per year, which is low for its age. This could reflect light usage or extended periods of inactivity, both of which may contribute to corrosion and component degradation.
