2016 Suzuki Celerio 1.0L Petrol · OV16 KWY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 May 2026 at 81,462 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern where minor faults are addressed only after a test failure. While the car passed the latest inspection with only a minor mirror defect, the history of recurring failures across consecutive years suggests that the owner only addresses defects when necessitated by legal requirements rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,146 miles per year. Between the May 2024 test at 68,347 miles and the May 2025 test at 75,055 miles, the car covered 6,708 miles. The subsequent interval between May 2025 and May 2026 saw an additional 6,407 miles. This steady usage indicates predictable wear which generally reduces the likelihood of unexpected mechanical stress on the drivetrain or suspension components. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system components, as the vehicle failed in May 2024 due to front brake pads being below the 1.5mm legal limit. Although the pads were likely replaced thereafter, the lack of a service history suggests the discs should be checked for glazing or thinning. The nearside windscreen wiper also caused a failure in 2025, so the wiper blade and motor assembly should be tested to ensure visibility remains adequate during rain. Additionally, the offside mirror has remained a persistent defect for two years, indicating a minor cosmetic issue that does not impact structural integrity but reflects a lack of attention to detail.
