Across 27,689 MOT tests of the Suzuki Celerio in the DfT's 2023 MOT data (initial tests, retests excluded), 14.4% failed — about 1 in 7. The parts that fail most are wipers, windscreen and mirrors (5.5% of tests), lights and electrics (3.7%), tyres (3.5%), brakes (3.3%) and suspension (0.6%).
Allowing for age and mileage, the Suzuki Celerio has 10% fewer MOT failures than the average car of the same age and mileage.
The MOT checks safety and emissions items — brakes, suspension, steering, lights, tyres, body structure and exhaust emissions. It does not test engines, gearboxes or most electronics, so those faults only show up here when they cause an emissions failure or a leak.
