2017 Suzuki Celerio 1.0L Petrol · SL17 OOH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in August 2025 at 63,215 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability followed by a specific mechanical failure that was resolved. While the car failed initially in August 2025 due to insufficient parking brake efficiency and a lack of effort at the nearside rear wheel, the immediate pass indicates that this fault was addressed and the braking system was rectified to legal standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, moving from 35,534 miles in August 2022 to 63,215 miles in 2025. This consistent interval suggests regular use rather than long periods of the vehicle standing, which generally prevents the degradation of rubber components and seals, though it does also lead to the gradual wear of consumables like brake components as seen in the history. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during a physical inspection. The July 2024 test at 53,501 miles flagged both nearside and offside front service brakes as binding. Combined with the August 2025 failure regarding the parking brake, this indicates a history of sticky calipers or corroded mechanisms within the brake assembly. It is essential to verify that the wheels rotate freely and that the hand brake holds firmly without excessive adjustment, ensuring the underlying issue has not merely merely masked by new hardware.
