2008 Daihatsu Sirion 1.3L Petrol · AV08 ABX

The 2008 Daihatsu Sirion presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last four MOT tests, including the most recent March 2025 inspection at 100,661 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent compliance over 18 months, with no recurring issues flagged. A single failed test in March 2022 at 94,239 miles is noted, though no defects were recorded, suggesting either a procedural error or a minor technicality. The absence of advisories or failures in subsequent tests indicates effective maintenance or minimal wear. The mileage of 100,661 miles over 18 years equates to approximately 5,592 miles annually, below the UK average for this age group. This low usage suggests either infrequent operation or extended periods of inactivity, which could affect components like battery life, fluid stability, and rubber seals. The MOT history shows steady mileage progression, with no abrupt spikes or gaps, implying regular but light use. However, the lack of detailed defect records limits insight into potential hidden issues beyond what was tested. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, as low mileage can mask wear in these areas. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should also be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as prolonged inactivity may affect their functionality. Structural integrity remains unverified by the MOT data, so a thorough underbody assessment for rust or damage is recommended. The vehicle’s maintenance history reflects reliability but offers no evidence of proactive servicing beyond mandatory tests.
