2005 Daihatsu Sirion 1.0L Petrol · AF55 KHV

The 2005 Daihatsu Sirion’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-30 at 98,672 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a concurrent failed test on the same date suggests potential inconsistency in the record. Previous tests show a mixed pattern: a pass in 2023-11-01 at 93,017 miles and a fail in 2024-10-25 at 96,408 miles, followed by a pass at 118,032 miles just four days later. The abrupt 21,624-mile increase between 2024-10-25 and 2024-10-29 raises questions about data accuracy or unusual usage. Overall, the maintenance trend lacks clear stability, with no recurring mechanical issues documented. The vehicle’s mileage of 98,672 miles at 21 years old equates to approximately 4,699 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, fluids, and rubber seals. However, the MOT history shows no evidence of corrosion, structural damage, or major mechanical faults. The absence of advisories or failures in the 2023 and 2025 tests suggests the owner prioritized basic upkeep, though the 2024 failed test at 96,408 miles remains unexplained. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension, brakes, and exhaust system during an in-person inspection, as these are common wear points in older cars. The lack of recorded defects does not eliminate risks associated with age, such as degraded coil springs, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions exceeding limits. Additionally, the sudden mileage jump between 2024-10-25 and 2024-10-29 warrants scrutiny to confirm the accuracy of the MOT records and the vehicle’sTrue usage history.
