1999 DAIHATSU FOURTRAK2.8L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the December 2025 test at 117,742 miles. This recent result follows a period of mechanical attention, specifically addressing issues identified in November 2024. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, as the tester recorded no defects in the most recent inspection, effectively resolving the previous advisories regarding CV boots, an anti-roll bar linkage, and an oil leak. The vehicle has covered 117,742 miles over approximately 27 years, averaging roughly 4,361 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests infrequent use, which can often lead to age-related deterioration despite low mechanical wear. The record shows a significant data gap between March 2023 and September 2015, though the mileage progression remains consistent with a vehicle that is driven sparingly. The recent increase of over 10,000 miles between November 2024 and December 2025 indicates a more active period of use compared to the previous years. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the chassis and structural integrity. The history reveals a long-standing pattern of corrosion, specifically regarding seat belt anchorages in 2014 and suspension component mountings in 2011, 2012, and 2013. While the 2015 record noted slight corrosion on the rear wheel arches, the recurring nature of structural rust in previous years means the underside and mounting points require close scrutiny for any signs of advanced oxidation or previous welding repairs. Mechanical attention should also be directed toward the drivetrain and braking systems. Although the December 2025 test was clear, the November 2024 advisories for deteriorated inner CV boots and a rear oil leak suggest that these components have been subject to wear. The buyer should verify that the CV boots have been replaced and check the engine and gearbox area for any fresh traces of oil seepage. Finally, given the historical failures regarding brake pipe corrosion, a physical inspection of the entire braking system and all fluid lines is necessary to ensure no new degradation has occurred.
