2006 Daihatsu Sirion 1.0L Petrol · NL06 AHC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 2 March 2026 at 83,893 miles. The maintenance trend is worsening. While the car passed its most recent test, the inspector flagged several new advisories including a corroded nearside front suspension arm and perishing rear tyres. These issues suggest a decline in preventative care compared to the clean bill of health received in November 2022. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,195 miles per year. A significant gap in the record exists between November 2022 and March 2026, during which the car covered only 1,315 miles. This pattern of prolonged inactivity often leads to the rubber degradation and surface corrosion noted in the latest inspection. A buyer must physically inspect the nearside front suspension arm to determine if the corrosion has progressed beyond a surface issue. The perishing rear tyres require immediate replacement regardless of tread depth, as rubber degrades over time when a vehicle sits idle. The 2021 test at 79,663 miles noted a central front oil leak and worn inner brake discs. You should verify if these were ever rectified or if the leak has worsened, as the 2026 record does not explicitly confirm their resolution. Attention should also be paid to the steering and suspension components. The 2019 test flagged a damaged ball joint dust cover, and the 2021 test noted a modified track rod end. These entries, combined with the recent suspension corrosion, indicate a vulnerability in the front-end geometry and structural integrity that warrants a professional underside inspection.
