2007 Daihatsu Terios 1.5L Petrol · CE07 RFL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the history indicates a pattern of immediate failure followed by repair. The most recent test on 9 March 2026 at 182,311 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded defects, suggesting the specific issue was rectified just prior to the retest. Looking back, the vehicle has consistently passed after failing within a few days of testing, indicating that the owner only addresses faults when mandated by the MOT tester rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a 19-year-old vehicle. At 182,311 miles, the car has averaged approximately 9,600 miles per year. Between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests, the vehicle covered 2,789 miles, while it covered another 2,197 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This lower annual mileage in recent years can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber seals and seized brake components if the vehicle is left stationary for extended periods without regular use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components. Given the high mileage and age of this Daihatsu Terios, checking for corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points is critical. Because the record shows no recorded advisories, it is possible the tester missed minor wear on suspension bushes or exhaust thinning, or the owner replaced them immediately. Check for binding calipers or excessive play in the steering, as these are common points of failure on high-mileage SUVs of this era.
