2007 Daihatsu Sirion 1.0L Petrol · FG57 SXM

The 2007 Daihatsu Sirion passed its most recent MOT on 17 January 2022 at 109,363 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it in a nominally roadworthy state at that time. The maintenance trend shows a stable picture across the available record, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged in any test. However, the file has stood untouched for over four years relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, so the current condition is unverified by MOT data. The odometer climbed from 105,377 miles at the 7 June 2021 failure to 109,363 miles by the January 2022 pass, a gain of roughly 3,986 miles across seven months. Annualised, that equates to near 6,800 miles per year, close to the lifetime average of 5,756 miles for a 19-year-old car. The record is sparse, showing only four entries between 2021 and 2022, and all tests logged zero defects. Low mileage like this often signals light use or periods of storage, which can mask perished rubber components and corrosion not visible in a clean MOT. Both failures on 5 January 2022 and 7 June 2021 recorded no defects, meaning the tester issued a rejection on administrative or unlisted grounds rather than worn consumables. A buyer should still treat the four-year test gap as the primary risk. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will have aged regardless of the 109,363-mile figure, and standing time raises the chance of seized calipers or structural rust on sills and subframes. Before purchase, commission a fresh inspection of the exhaust emissions, tyre sidewalls, and underbody integrity. The previous owner kept the car minimally compliant but let the test lapse in 2022, so verify the battery, fluid condition, and handbrake function given probable inactivity since the last pass.
