2016 Suzuki Celerio 1.0L Petrol · PX66 OPS

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards developing corrosion and mechanical neglect. The most recent test in September 2025 at 40,845 miles flagged several significant advisories that were not present in previous years. While the car passed, the appearance of corroded brake pipes, a corroded front sub-frame, and suspension components indicates that the vehicle is beginning to suffer from age-related degradation rather than high-mileage wear. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old car, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the record, moving from 24,772 miles in 2021 to 40,845 miles today. However, the low mileage likely correlates with the recurring issues of tyre perishing and cracking noted in 2022 and 2025. This suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, allowing rubber components to degrade and corrosion to set in despite the low distance travelled. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the undercarriage to assess the extent of the corrosion on the front sub-frame and suspension arms. The 2025 report highlighted a binding offside front brake and corroded brake pipes covered in grease, which often indicates an attempt to mask surface rust or a slow leak. Furthermore, the oil leak noted in 2024 should be verified to ensure it has not progressed into a significant failure. Given the history of cracked and perished tyres across multiple tests, the current set of tyres must be checked for sidewall integrity regardless of tread depth.
