2008 Daihatsu Sirion 1.0L Petrol · LL57 ADV

The most recent MOT test conducted on 26 January 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Reviewing the history back to 2022, the vehicle demonstrates a remarkably stable maintenance trend, having achieved five consecutive clean passes. This total absence of recorded failures or advisories suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a high state of repair or has seen very limited operational stress. With a recorded mileage of 30,207 miles over an eighteen year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 1,678 miles per year. This is exceptionally low usage for a vehicle of this vintage. While this implies minimal wear on the internal combustion components and the drivetrain, such low mileage often indicates long periods of inactivity, which can introduce a different set of mechanical risks associated with standing rather than operational wear. Given the clean MOT record and low usage, the buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of all rubber components. Specifically, examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as tyres often expire due to age before the tread wears down. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of dry rot or surface corrosion, and listen for any clunks or stiffness during low-speed manoeuvres on the test drive. Particular attention must be paid to the braking system and fluid integrity. Check for binding calipers or heavy corrosion on the brake discs, which are common symptoms of a vehicle that has spent significant time stationary. Verify the service history to ensure that engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid have been changed based on calendar intervals rather than mileage, as these fluids degrade chemically over time. Finally, test the 12V battery health and check for any signs of moisture ingress or perished weather stripping around the cabin.
