NL06 AHO MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
3 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Daihatsu Terios (NL06 AHO) between December 2021 and December 2022.
The record contains 1 pass and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 13 December 2022 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Bodywork (5 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Brakes (1 issue), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 11 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced Chassis rail. (7.1.1 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced Chassis rail. (7.1.1 (a) (i))”; “Front Registration plate does not conform to the specified requirements incorrect spacing (0.1 (d))”.

MOT Roadworthiness: Poor

Our Verdict
Avoid this vehicle unless you are prepared for significant structural repair costs. The MOT history shows serious corrosion affecting seat belt anchorages and chassis rails, which is a major safety concern.
Do not proceed without a full independent inspection focusing on structural integrity. The MOT failures show corrosion to chassis rails, sills, and seat belt anchorages — these are not minor fixes and may require welding or chassis replacement. Negotiate aggressively or walk away; any sale price must account for potentially thousands in structural repair.
As a 1298cc petrol Terios first registered in March 2006, it will fall into a lower road tax band typical of small 4x4s of that era, but exact figures are not in the data. Insurance groups for early Terios are generally modest, and fuel economy is average for a compact SUV. Annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance are estimated at £900-£1,200, though deferred corrosion repairs could add substantially.
Prioritise inspection of the near and offside chassis rails, sills, and seat belt anchorage points — the December 2022 MOT recorded significantly reduced strength at wheel arches and chassis rails on both sides. Check the brake pipes for corrosion as noted in the same test, and the near side front outer CV boot for the small hole reported. Verify the reversing lamps, registration plate spacing, and engine/gearbox oil leaks flagged in the 2022 failure, and confirm the underseal is not hiding further rot.
This 2006 black Daihatsu Terios (NL06AHO) has covered 95,432 miles as of its last MOT in December 2022, which is reasonable for its age but the condition is poor. The December 2022 MOT failed on extensive corrosion including seat belt anchorage strength reduction on both sides and excessive sill corrosion. Combined with two failed MOTs in 2021 and 2022 for chassis corrosion, this vehicle presents a high-risk purchase with serious structural issues.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Daihatsu Terios to draw on.
