2018 Suzuki Celerio 1.0L Petrol · PY18 ADV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025‑12‑18 at 36 880 miles, but the front near‑side tyre is recorded as “n.s.f.” (not suitable for fitment), indicating a consumable issue that remains unresolved. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of recurring tyre deterioration—front near‑side damage flagged in 2021, 2022, 2023 and now a perished condition—while brake and wiper faults have appeared intermittently and largely cleared after corrective work. Overall the car’s roadworthiness is acceptable for a low‑mileage example, yet the tyre history suggests ongoing neglect of basic tyre care. Mileage accumulation has been modest throughout the car’s life. Between May 2021 (18 096 mi) and May 2022 (23 478 mi) the vehicle added roughly 3 400 mi, and a similar increment was seen to May 2023 (26 966 mi). A notable 19‑month gap followed, with mileage rising from 26 964 mi in May 2023 to 31 920 mi in January 2025—a low average of about 260 mi per month. The final interval to December 2025 added another 4 960 mi in roughly 11 months, reinforcing the picture of light use or extended storage periods. The overall average of about 4 600 mi per year is well below typical usage for an eight‑year‑old vehicle. A buyer should inspect the front near‑side tyre first, as it has been flagged on three separate tests and is now marked n.s.f.; tread depth and sidewall condition must be verified. Rear tyres show edge wear close to the legal limit, so even wear and remaining tread should be checked. The parking brake lever’s excessive movement was recorded in May 2022; the lever’s travel and adjustment mechanism need testing for correct operation. Windscreen wiper performance was noted as ineffective in 2021 and 2023, so blade wear and arm clearance should be assessed. The TPMS malfunction from 2023 warrants a check of sensor functionality and warning lamp operation. No suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc corrosion or structural rust are evident in the MOT history, but a visual walk‑around for any developing corrosion on chassis components is advisable.
