2005 Daihatsu Sirion 1.3L Petrol · CV55 OLH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-09-23 at 54,621 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend since 2022-10-27 (39,735 miles) has been stable, with all tests passing except a failed entry on 2024-10-23 at 48,024 miles, which recorded no defects. This inconsistency suggests a potential administrative error or procedural issue, as no faults were noted despite the failure. The absence of recurring mechanical issues in the passing tests indicates the car has been well-maintained, though the 2024-10-23 failure warrants further investigation. The mileage of 54,621 miles over 21 years equates to approximately 2,601 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage may indicate infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to component degradation not reflected in mileage alone. Notable gaps between tests—such as the 4,731-mile increase between 2023-10-24 (43,293 miles) and 2024-10-25 (48,024 miles)—suggest irregular usage patterns. The lack of detailed defect records in most tests limits insight into wear trends, but the consistent passing results imply routine checks were prioritized. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. The 2024-10-23 failure, though unexplained, highlights the need to verify the car’s service history and check for hidden issues like binding calipers or corroded exhaust systems. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as low mileage does not preclude rust or panel corrosion. The absence of tyre or wiper-related advisories is positive, but a thorough pre-purchase inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
