2008 Daihatsu Terios 1.5L Petrol · CE58 OKC

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 23 July 2025 at the recorded mileage, with no advisories or defects noted by the tester. Across the five recorded tests spanning 2022 to 2025, the Terios has passed cleanly on four occasions, though a fail was logged just seven days prior to the July 2025 pass. That single failure carries no defect details in the record, which means the specific cause cannot be determined from the data provided, but its quick resolution and subsequent clean pass suggest the issue was addressed promptly. The overall trend reads as stable, with no accumulating advisories or repeated component flags visible in the history. At roughly 18 years old, the recorded 109,045 miles equates to an average of approximately 6,058 miles per year, which sits broadly in line with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2022 and 2025 entries shows the car covering around 22,000 miles across three years, a steady rate consistent with regular but not arduous use. No abrupt mileage jumps or extended stationary periods are evident from the recorded tests, indicating a consistent pattern of road use rather than long-term storage followed by sporadic trips. Given the age and mileage, any prospective buyer should focus inspection on components that MOT testing does not fully evaluate. The suspension, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, should be checked for wear and corrosion typical of high-mileage 4x4s of this era. Brake calipers, discs, and flexible hoses are worth close examination for binding or perishing, and the underbody and structural members merit a thorough look for rust, especially around mounting points and the exhaust mounting area. Finally, the cooling system, timing chain area, and CV joints are common wear points on vehicles approaching two decades of service, even when MOT records remain clean. A pre-purchase inspection by a mechanic experienced with older Daihatsu or compact 4x4 vehicles would provide a more complete picture than the MOT history alone can offer.
