Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While this is an e
The primary area for investigation is the braking system. The MOT records show the 'Offside Front Service brake excessively binding' in both October 2024 and October 2025; you should verify if the brake caliper was replaced or merely serviced, as the recurrence suggests a persistent fault. Ask for invoices relating to the exhaust repair and brake work carried out in October 2025 to ensure quality parts were used.
Given the age of this 2007 model, check for any signs of corrosion on the underbody and sills, which is common for vehicles of this era. Ensure the service history documents regular oil changes, as the small 1.0L engine relies on clean lubrication for longevity at this mileage.
With a 998cc engine, this Sirion is designed for low-cost urban motoring. It will fall into a relatively low insurance group and a modest road tax bracket for its age. Fuel economy is expected to be efficient, making it a viable budget option for short commutes.
Annual maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age can be unpredictable. While the mechanicals are simple, the recurring brake and exhaust issues seen in the MOT history suggest that wear-and-tear components are now reaching the end of their lifespan. Expect to budget for periodic replacements of consumables like tyres and brake pads.
Pay close attention to the offside front wheel and brake disc. Check for excessive heat discoloration or a 'stuck' feeling when the wheel is spun, referencing the repeat MOT failures for brake binding. Inspect the exhaust system for any crude welds or patches, as it failed in October 2025 due to a major leak.
Check the tread depth and condition of all four tyres. The MOT history from 2023 and 2024 shows a consistent pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit, which may indicate a need to check the wheel alignment or the previous usage patterns of the vehicle.
This blue 2007 Daihatsu Sirion, powered by a 998cc petrol engine, has recorded 102,081 miles. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures over the last three years, specifically regarding tyre wear and a recurring brake binding issue. Although the vehicle passed its most recent test in October 2025 with no defects, the repeat nature of certain faults is a point of concern.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Daihatsu Sirion; assessment is based solely on this vehicle's MOT record.
