2007 Daihatsu Sirion 1.0L Petrol · DU07 XYF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, but the maintenance record indicates a clear trend of deterioration, specifically concerning the suspension and exhaust systems. The most recent test in April 2025 failed on 74,201 miles, with the tester flagging a perishing rear tire and a major exhaust leak. This failure occurred approximately 7.5 years after the previous successful test in April 2024, suggesting a lack of consistent upkeep and an accelerating wear pattern. The failure in the same month, April 2024, at 66,424 miles, further confirms that the vehicle has not maintained its mechanical integrity over the past two years, with the most recent failure occurring just over two years ago. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has a significant gap in its MOT history, with only two tests recorded between 2024 and 2025. The first test in April 2025 was a failure, and the second was a failure in April 2024, both occurring within the same month. This lack of continuous testing suggests that the owner may have been absent for significant periods, leading to the accumulation of wear on critical components such as the suspension bushings and brake discs. The vehicle is therefore not considered to be in good condition based on a history of intermittent failures, as the wear on these components has not been addressed since the last valid test. Based on the recurring faults and the structural integrity issues identified, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for binding rear brakes, cracked or perishing tyres, and a major exhaust leak. The history indicates that the brakes themselves have been inspected multiple times, but the failure to pass the MOT suggests that the brake systems have not been maintained to their original specifications. The exhaust system is a major concern, as the leak has been flagged in both the April 2025 and April 2024 tests, indicating that the vehicle may have been exposed to environmental factors or improper maintenance that has compromised the exhaust piping. A thorough visual inspection of the suspension components and the exhaust manifold is required to determine if the structural integrity has been compromised or if the wear is merely on consumables.
