2008 Daihatsu Sirion 1.3L Petrol · AV08 ADZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-04 at 80,345 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the preceding test on 2025-11-03 at 80,340 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being logged, suggesting a potential administrative or procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. The trend from 2023-2024 shows consistent passing with no defects, implying the car has been maintained to a satisfactory standard. No recurring mechanical issues are evident from the record, but the lack of detailed defect descriptions limits definitive conclusions about underlying conditions. The vehicle’s mileage of 80,345 miles over 18 years equates to approximately 4,464 miles annually, which is below average for its age. Notable gaps exist between tests, particularly the 7,755-mile jump from 65,381 miles (2023-10-30) to 73,136 miles (2024-11-05), suggesting periods of reduced usage or infrequent motoring. The low annual average may indicate the car was stored for extended periods, increasing risks of corrosion, fluid degradation, or seized components. The recent 7,209-mile increase from 73,136 to 80,345 miles over 13 months reflects a slight uptick in usage but remains within normal parameters for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade with age and inactivity. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car was parked for long periods. Structural integrity, including rust on the underbody or chassis, warrants scrutiny, as low mileage does not preclude corrosion. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the absence of defect details means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the car’s condition beyond recorded tests.
