2015 Suzuki Celerio 1.0L Petrol · NA64 AEN

The 2026‑01‑20 MOT confirms the 2015 Suzuki Celerio remains roadworthy, having passed despite front brake disc wear, thin pads, near‑side tyre wear close to the legal limit and corroded front brake pipes. A previous test on the same day failed due to a non‑functional near‑side stop lamp, but the vehicle still passed, indicating that the listed defects do not constitute a fatal failure. The recurring nature of brake‑pipe corrosion and tyre wear suggests a maintenance trend that is stagnant rather than improving. Mileage has risen from 26,384 at the 2018 test to 105,408 at the 2026 test, a gain of 79,024 miles over eight years, averaging 9,878 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age and shows no prolonged periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front and rear brake pipes for extensive corrosion, particularly the near‑side front and rear sections, and verify that the brake discs are not excessively worn or pitted; measure pad thickness and tyre tread depth, confirming that the near‑side tyre is not bordering on the legal limit; check that all wheel nuts are present and securely tightened; examine suspension bushes, coil springs and brake calipers for binding or excessive wear; and look for any structural rust on the chassis or exhaust system. Although the car meets the current MOT standard, the repeated brake‑pipe corrosion, tyre wear and disc scoring indicate a pattern of deferred maintenance, making a detailed in‑person inspection of these components essential before final purchase.
