2007 Daihatsu Sirion 1.3L Petrol · BD07 FXM

The vehicle presents an inconsistent roadworthiness profile characterized by a recurring history of immediate failures followed by passes. While the most recent test on 15 October 2025 at 81,920 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded defects, the preceding data suggests a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive upkeep. The trend remains unstable in terms of mechanical readiness, as the car failed two of its last three attempts, indicating that the owner only addresses issues when prompted by the MOT tester rather than following a consistent service schedule. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 81,920 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,312 miles. The data shows significant periods of very low use, such as the 2,402-mile gap between August 2023 and October 2024. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing often lead to degradation of rubber-based components. Dry-rot and seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes are common side effects for vehicles of this age that lack regular operation. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the structural integrity and underbody, as the record has not shown specific advisories for corrosion despite the vehicle's age. The failures without recorded defects in the most recent tests suggest minor-related failures such as bulbs, wipers, or emissions spikes that were rectified immediately after the test. Inspect the tyres for flat spots or cracking and check the brake fluid for contamination, as the low-mileage history often masks age-related material fatigue that mileage alone does not reveal.
