Looking at a Celerio?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular Celerio is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Celerio disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 28,067 in 2022 Q1 and stand at 27,126 in 2026 Q1, down 3%. That is down 3% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 457 are declared SORN — 1 in 60 of the 27,583 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

When it shows up in the statistics

Suzuki Celerio first appears in the published DfT series in 2014 Q4. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.

Celerio MOT pass rate

In 2024, 84.6% of 26,330 Suzuki Celerio MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 88.2% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 84.4% aged 6–9 years.

  • Wipers — 4% of tests. Worn wiper blades. Minutes to fix, and a fair hint that servicing was skipped.
  • Stop Lamp — 2.1% of tests. A brake light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Brake Performance — 1.8% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
  • Condition — 1.7% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
