2008 Daihatsu Sirion 1.0L Petrol · ET57 AHC

This vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 19 January 2026 at 89,278 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of successful tests over the last few years, suggesting the car is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is notably low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,960 miles per year. The distance covered between the March 2024 test at 86,866 miles and the January 2026 test at 89,278 miles shows a modest increase of 2,412 miles over nearly two years. Such low usage often indicates a car used for short local trips or one that has spent significant time stationary. The MOT record is unusually clean, showing no recorded defects or advisories across multiple years. While this suggests a well-maintained vehicle, the lack of any flagged wear on consumables like brake discs, tyres, or suspension bushes is atypical for a car of this age. The failure entries on 13 January 2026 and 14 March 2024 are listed without specific defects, which may indicate administrative errors or very minor issues resolved instantly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for perished rubber seals, cracked suspension bushes, and signs of corrosion on the chassis and sills, as these are common failure points for older Daihatsus. Given the low annual mileage, verify the condition of the battery and check for any signs of brake caliper binding caused by long periods of inactivity.
