1993 DAIHATSU FIELDMAN2.8L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy as the last recorded MOT test took place eighteen years ago. The final recorded data point from June 2008 reveals a critical failure regarding structural integrity. While the vehicle passed a test the year prior, the subsequent inspection failed due to excessive corrosion on the nearside and offside rear structures near the body mountings. Given the lack of any testing since 2008, the mechanical and structural state of the vehicle cannot be verified. The recorded mileage of 159,203 miles reflects a low usage rate for a vehicle of thirty-three years, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per annum. However, the data shows a significant stagnation in use. Between 2006 and 2008, the vehicle covered only 8,452 miles over two years. This pattern suggests the car may have sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seized brake calipers, and accelerated corrosion of the underbody, regardless of the low overall odometer reading. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the condition of the rear chassis and mounting points. The 2008 failure identified structural corrosion seriously affecting the strength of the vehicle, which is a terminal defect if not professionally welded and repaired. The buyer should also examine the front suspension, as the history shows a recurring trend of worn track rod ends, wheel bearings, and anti-roll bar bushes. The eighteen-year gap in testing means that all consumable items, hoses, and fluids, have likely perished due to age and environmental exposure rather than mileage.
