2007 Daihatsu Materia 1.5L Petrol · CK57 FHG

The Daihatsu Materia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 13 August 2025 at 55,718 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle cleared every annual examination from 2022 through 2025 without a single advisory or mechanical fault, indicating consistent statutory compliance over the past four years. Recorded mileage sits at 55,718 against a 2007 build, an average of roughly 2,933 miles per year and exceptionally low for a nineteen-year-old car. The odometer moved only 1,498 miles between the June 2022 test at 51,220 and the August 2025 pass at 55,718, confirming long periods of minimal use. A five-day gap separates the 8 August 2025 failure at 55,703 miles and the subsequent pass at 55,718, yet the failure carried no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a genuine fault. The clean MOT history gives no recorded warnings on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across the entire sequence. Low annual mileage and a clean sheet mean the buyer should still physically verify the condition of rubber components and underbody integrity, as standing vehicles commonly develop perishing seals and hidden rust not captured in a pass result. A pre-purchase inspection should prioritise checking for moisture ingress, brake caliper binding after storage, and tyre sidewall cracking from age rather than wear. The absence of advisories implies the previous keeper maintained basic statutory standards, though the sparse defect data leaves component fatigue from long idle periods unverified by the test record alone.
