2018 Suzuki Celerio 1.0L Petrol · WD18 BTO

The most recent MOT test conducted in September 2025 resulted in a pass, although the vehicle's history indicates a persistent trend regarding tyre condition. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record without recorded major mechanical or structural failures, the advisory notes have transitioned from tread wear on the front tyres in 2022 to more concerning reports of cracking and perishing on both front and rear tyres in 2024 and 2025. It is also worth noting that as of today's date, the vehicle is due for its next MOT inspection almost immediately, which should be treated as a priority for any prospective buyer to ensure current roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 26,985 miles over approximately eight years, this Suzuki Celerio has been driven significantly less than the UK average, averaging roughly 3,373 miles per year. This low mileage profile is a double-edged sword for a prospective buyer. While it implies minimal wear on the engine, drivetrain, and suspension components, such low usage often indicates the vehicle has spent considerable periods stationary. This pattern can lead to specific age-related issues that are not typically associated with high-mileage vehicles, such as fluid degradation and component seizure. Given the recurring advisories, a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres is essential. You must examine the sidewalls for deep cracking or perishing, as these defects can compromise tyre integrity even if the tread depth appears sufficient. During your test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension and pay close attention to the braking performance. Look for any brake shudder or pulling to the side, which could indicate binding calipers or heavily corroded brake discs resulting from the vehicle standing for extended periods. Finally, you should verify the service history to ensure that oil and filter changes have been carried out on an annual basis, as engine oil degrades over time regardless of the distance travelled. It is also prudent to check the health of the 12V battery, as infrequent driving can lead to a loss of charge capacity. Inspect the engine bay for any signs of dried-out seals or fluid leaks and check that rubber components such as coolant hoses and suspension bushes do not show signs of brittleness or cracking due to age and lack of regular movement.
