2009 Daihatsu Terios 1.5L Petrol · AD09 OKF

The 2009 Daihatsu Terios presents a stable and impeccable maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 1 July 2025 at 40,726 miles. The tester recorded zero defects and zero advisories, a status it has maintained consistently across the preceding four annual tests. This unblemished record indicates a vehicle that has required no mechanical corrections or component replacements over the last five years, reflecting diligent upkeep and minimal wear. The annual mileage accumulation sits remarkably low at roughly 2,400 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2024, the odometer advanced predictably by approximately 2,500 miles annually, rising from 29,830 miles to 37,465 miles. A slight uptick occurred in the following twelve months, adding 3,261 miles by the July 2025 test. Notably, the recorded mileage remains static at 40,726 miles today, exactly one year after its last MOT, suggesting the vehicle has been standing idle or used extremely sparingly over the past twelve months. Despite the flawless MOT record, a prospective buyer must inspect the implications of prolonged stationary periods. Tyres will likely exhibit date codes from several years ago, requiring close scrutiny for sidewall perishing and flat spots from sitting under load. Brake discs may suffer from surface corrosion caused by minimal use rather than wear, potentially leading to binding calipers or judder. Suspension bushes and coil springs can degrade through inactivity, so a physical check for perishing rubber and sagging ride height remains essential.
