2015 Suzuki Celerio 1.0L Petrol · LP64 WLG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 100,284 miles passed with only minor advisories regarding front tyres, previous records show significant mechanical lapses. The trend appears to have stabilized following a major failure in 2023, yet the recurring nature of steering issues suggests that critical components were only addressed after failing an official inspection. At 11 years old, the mileage of 100,284 miles represents an average usage of approximately 9,117 miles per year, which aligns with standard national averages for a city car. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 5,500 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat idle for long periods, though the cumulative mileage puts typical strain on high-wear wear-and-tear items like the steering rack and braking system. A buyer must scrutinise the steering system, as the steering rack inner joints were flagged for free play in both 2023 and 2024. Although the vehicle passed in 2025, the repeated presence of this fault indicates the steering assembly may be nearing the end of its functional life. The braking system also requires close attention; the 2023 failure noted fluctuating front brakes, pitted discs, and an inoperative parking brake. A physical inspection should verify that the parking brake now holds firmly and that the front discs are not showing further uneven wear or thinning. The 2025 advisories regarding front tyres being worn on the edge often point to underlying alignment issues or worn suspension bushes, which links back to the previously steering faults. Given the history of steering rack play, a technician should check for any play in the steering wheel during a test drive. While the car has passed its recent tests, the record suggests a previous owner who only repaired faults when necessitated by an MOT failure.
