2015 Suzuki Celerio 1.0L Petrol · VO15 KPF

The 1.0-litre petrol Celerio is one of the more economical small cars on the market, with real-world fuel economy typically in the 50-60 mpg range for mixed driving. Road tax for a 2015 petrol of this size usually falls into a low band, often £30-£35 per year once any initial higher-rate period has expired, though you should confirm the exact band against current VED rates. Insurance is usually in groups 3-5, keeping premiums modest for most drivers. Routine maintenance is straightforward and inexpensive, with parts shared across Suzuki's small-car range, although budget around £300-£500 per year for typical servicing and wear-and-tear items.

The MOT history flags front tyres wearing on the outer edges in 2023, which can indicate either alignment issues or worn suspension components — have the wheel alignment and condition of the front struts, top mounts and wishbone bushes checked. The brake lever reserve travel failure in 2023 should be investigated by confirming the handbrake mechanism, rear brake shoes and cable adjustment are all in good order now, as an MOT failure here can indicate neglected rear brake adjustment. Inspect both windscreens carefully for cracks and check that the wiper linkage and motor work smoothly, given the split blades previously recorded. Beyond the MOT data, a 2015 Celerio with 75,000 miles should be checked for cooling system condition, timing chain noise on start-up and any signs of oil leaks from the engine or gearbox.
