2009 Daihatsu Copen 1.3L Petrol · D27 BEN

The 2009 Daihatsu Copen presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 May 2025 at 41,373 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 41,373 miles against an age of roughly 17 years, equating to about 2,434 miles per year. The car was tested at 36,821 miles on 29 April 2022, then 38,643 miles on 4 May 2023, 40,055 miles on 17 May 2024, and 41,373 miles on 12 May 2025. Annual accumulation stays between 1,200 and 1,800 miles with no gaps or sudden jumps. The sparse, clean record shows no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A failed test on 4 May 2023 at 38,631 miles carries no recorded defects, with a pass logged the same day at 38,643 miles. This points to an administrative or measurement discrepancy rather than a mechanical fault. The prior owner clearly kept the car lightly used and serviced to a standard that avoided statutory advisories. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and hidden corrosion, given the low use and likely periods of standing that MOTs do not probe. Check suspension components, brake calipers, and tyre condition for age-related perishing. The clean history justifies confidence, but low mileage alone does not certify long-term mechanical health.
