2008 Daihatsu Sirion 1.0L Petrol · FN08 YVC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite a history of immediate retest failures. The most recent inspection on November 7, 2023 at 123,472 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure exactly one day prior. This suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified issues to ensure compliance, though the record lacks specific details on the underlying mechanical or structural faults across the last three testing cycles. With a recorded mileage of 123,472 miles over 18 years, the Sirion averages approximately 6,860 miles per year. This low-annual rate of use typically implies less strain on drivetrain components and engine internals compared to high-mileage counterparts. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 5,400 miles driven between November 2021 and October 2022, and another 2,800 miles between October 2022 and November 2023. This regularity indicates the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, given the vehicle's age. While the MOT record is clean of advisories, older Daihatsu models are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arch mounting points. Inspect the rubber bushes in the control arms and shock absorbers for cracking, as low mileage does not prevent material degradation over two decades. Since the last two tests involved failures followed by immediate passes, verify the brake calipers for binding or uneven wear to ensure the previous issues were fully resolved rather than merely masked.
