2018 Suzuki Celerio 1.0L Petrol · VX68 SVG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 20 May 2025 at 140,007 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for a minor exhaust leak and a faulty position lamp. While the car met the minimum legal requirements, the persistence of the exhaust issue from the 2024 test suggests that this component was only addressed after it triggered a failure. The mileage profile is significantly high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 17,500 miles per year. There is a notable surge in usage observed between July 2022 (44,076 miles) and August 2023 (85,872 miles), where the car covered over 41,000 miles in just thirteen months. This intensive use continued with another 39,400 miles recorded by the 2024 test. Such high annual mileage typically places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components. A buyer should prioritize a thorough underbody inspection of the exhaust system, as the recurring leak has appeared across two consecutive years. The tester also flagged both front tyres as worn on the edge in 2024, which often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension components that may require immediate attention. Given the high mileage, a physical check of the shock absorbers, coil springs, and the thickness of the brake discs is essential to ensure the heavy usage has not led to premature mechanical fatigue.
