2016 Suzuki Celerio 1.0L Petrol · FX66 PTO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, passing its most recent MOT test in January 2026 at 41,524 miles. While the overall mechanical status appears stable, the trend shows a recent decline in attention to consumable maintenance. After two years of clean records in 2024 and 2025, the 2026 test identified multiple issues regarding tyre perishing and wear, indicating that basic upkeep has been neglected in recent months despite the low annual mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,150 miles per year. Between January 2022 at 14,644 miles and January 2026 at 41,524 miles, the car covered 26,880 miles over four years. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle is used for short trips, which typically places less strain on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension. However, such low-mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and tyre compounds regardless of the tread depth. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres, as the record shows a recurring pattern of perishing and damage. The 2022 test flagged cracking on all four tyres, and the 2026 test noted a nearside front tyre near the legal limit alongside a damaged offside front tyre. This suggests the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life due to age rather than distance. Check specifically for sidewall cracking and uneven wear which indicates alignment issues or long periods of standing. Given the historical lack of structural or mechanical defects, the mechanical integrity of the Celerio appears sound. The focus should remain on the brake system for corrosion or seizing, which are common in low-mileage cars that sit for periods. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracks, as the age of the vehicle will leads to rubber fatigue even when the mileage remains low.
