Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution. While this veh
The primary concern with this vehicle is the state of the underbody. You should negotiate the price heavily or seek a specialist inspection to determine the extent of the rust. Specifically, ask for evidence that the 'very heavily corroded' fuel feed pipe and corroded brake pipes mentioned in the January 2026 MOT have been replaced rather than just patched, as these are critical safety components.
Check the service history for any evidence of underbody sealing or rust-proofing treatments. Given the pattern of failures involving CV boots and ball joints, ensure that all suspension components have been replaced recently and are not merely showing signs of wear that will lead to another failure in the near future.
The 1495cc petrol engine is relatively modest in size, but fuel economy for this model is typically lower than modern hatchbacks due to its boxy shape. You can expect mid-range road tax based on its 2007 CO2 emissions and a relatively low insurance group.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this specific vehicle. The MOT history suggests a high propensity for corrosion and suspension wear, meaning you should budget for ongoing structural repairs and replacement of rubber components like CV boots and bushings. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and likely rust-related repairs, are approximately £1,300-£1,600.
A thorough underbody inspection is mandatory. Focus specifically on the fuel feed pipe from the filler neck to the tank and the brake pipes running from front to rear, both of which were flagged as corroded in January 2026. Inspect the rear axle and front coil springs for significant rust, as these have been recurring issues in the MOT history.
Additionally, check the condition of the rear shock absorbers and the offside front CV boot. While the vehicle passed its most recent test, the history shows a pattern of fluid leaks from the shocks and perished boots, which are common wear points that require regular monitoring on this model.
This 2007 grey Daihatsu Terios has covered 107,045 miles, which is relatively low for its age. However, the MOT history reveals a recurring and worsening pattern of structural corrosion, specifically affecting the fuel feed pipes, brake pipes, and rear axle. Recent records from January 2026 show a failure followed by a pass, but the pass still carries critical advisories regarding very heavy corrosion.
Aggregate data is unavailable for this model, but the individual history of this vehicle suggests a vulnerability to chassis and component corrosion in the UK climate.
