Suzuki Celerio (2018)
2018 Suzuki Celerio
CarHunch analysed 4,111 real MOT records for the 2018 Suzuki Celerio. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2018 Suzuki Celerio is a genuinely reliable proposition, passing its MOT first time in 90.6% of cases—well above the UK average of 80%. Only 10.9% of these cars have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is comfortably low and suggests no systemic safety concerns for buyers.
These Celerios are running relatively low mileage for their age (median 22,580 miles), which explains the strong pass rate and the modest 0.63 average failures per vehicle. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the advisories that do crop up regularly (averaging 3.5 per car)—likely minor wear items—and you'll avoid most nasty surprises.
What to check before buying a 2018 Suzuki Celerio
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
