2008 Daihatsu Terios 1.5L Petrol · AV08 AAF

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 27 February 2026 at 112,553 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded advisories or failures for the last three years. The mileage is typical for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,253 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between 7 March 2024 and 7 March 2025, where the odometer rose from 82,674 to 104,082 miles. This indicates a period of higher intensity use, adding nearly 21,000 miles in a single year, before returning to a more moderate pace of approximately 8,500 miles leading up to the February 2026 test. The MOT record is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, showing no flagged issues regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. While the absence of advisories suggests a well-maintained car, a buyer should still manually inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion. Older Japanese 4x4s often suffer from structural rust that may not always be captured if the vehicle was cleaned prior to testing. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads during a physical inspection. Since the DVSA record shows no defects, these consumables are likely within legal limits, but they may be nearing the end of their service life given the mileage increase seen in 2025. Verify that the engine oil and coolant are clean to ensure the previous owner maintained the mechanical internals alongside the MOT requirements.
