AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2008 Daihatsu Sirion presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 14 January 2026 at 117,880 miles, and the maintenance trend across the supplied records is stable with no advisories or defects logged. The vehicle cleared the 3 December 2024 test at 111,909 miles, the 24 November 2023 test at 106,349 miles, and the 12 November 2022 test at 99,988 miles, all with no faults raised. A failed test on 8 January 2026 at 117,872 miles recorded no defects, with the car passing six days later, which points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,500 miles against an 18-year lifespan, a typical figure that implies steady rather than harsh use. The odometer moved 7,891 miles between November 2022 and December 2024, then 5,971 miles to January 2026, showing no rapid accumulation or long dormant periods. The DVSA data is sparse in faults, with every pass and the anomalous fail carrying zero recorded advisories on brakes, suspension, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of any tester advisories that might otherwise flag gradual wear. The clean history suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet the January 2026 fail with no defect listed warrants confirmation of the rejection reason, such as a missing plate or documentation, before purchase. Checking for underlying structural rust around sills and subframes remains sensible on a vehicle of this vintage despite the unmarked record.
