2008 Daihatsu Sirion 1.0L Petrol · AV08 ABK

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-08-08 MOT at 107,507 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also showed passes with no defects, indicating consistent maintenance. The 2023-07-04 entry lists both a pass and fail on the same date, which may reflect a data inconsistency, but no specific issues were noted in the recorded outcomes. Overall, the trend suggests reliable mechanical condition without emerging faults. The vehicle’s mileage of 107,507 miles over 18 years equates to an average of 5,973 miles annually, below the typical usage for its age. A significant jump from 70,667 miles in 2022 to 82,268 miles in 2023 raises questions about the accuracy of recorded data, as this represents a 16,601-mile increase in 12 months. Subsequent tests show gradual accumulation, reaching 97,678 miles by 2024 and 107,507 miles in 2025. The sparse defect history suggests minimal wear, though the low mileage could imply periods of inactivity, potentially affecting components like seals or batteries. A buyer should inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for age-related wear, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. The absence of corrosion reports is positive, but visual checks for rust on underbody panels and chassis joints are recommended. While no advisories were flagged, the 2023-07-04 fail/pass discrepancy warrants verification with the DVSA to confirm the vehicle’s compliance history. Overall, the MOT record indicates a well-maintained car, but physical inspection is essential to confirm the condition of critical systems.
