1998 Daihatsu Fourtrak 2.8L Diesel · R210 DUH

The overall roadworthiness status is marginal, with the most recent test in December 2025 at 224,987 miles recording two minor failures. The maintenance trend is unstable, as the vehicle failed twice in the same month on the same mileage, with the December 2025 test flagging worn anti-roll bar linkages and thin brake pads. The December 2025 failures are consistent with a pattern of deferred maintenance, as the previous test in December 2024 passed cleanly and the 2023 test passed with no recorded defects. The mileage of 224,987 miles over 28 years, or roughly 8,035 miles per year, is within the typical range for a vehicle of this age. The record shows a notable gap between the 2025-12-08 failure and the 2025-12-12 pass, with the brake pads being below the 1.5 mm threshold on both front wheels. The 2024-11-22 test at 220,380 miles recorded 3,137 miles of wear in a single month, which is a rapid accumulation of mileage that may indicate higher-than-average usage or a lack of regular servicing. A buyer should inspect the suspension and braking systems in person, as the history shows recurring issues with worn anti-roll bar linkages, excessive play in the track rod ends, and corroded suspension bushes. The 2023-04-24 test flagged a detached central rear vehicle structure, corroded rear integral body structures, and a fractured rear coil spring, all of which are serious structural risks. The record also shows a history of brake pad wear, corroded seat belt anchorage, and exhaust emissions failures, all of which require a thorough in-person check before purchase.
