2006 Daihatsu Sirion 1.3L Petrol · OU06 YFL

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend despite its age. The most recent test conducted in June 2025 at 34,306 miles passed without any failures, although the tester noted slight corrosion on the front underside. This represents a minor progression from the 2021 advisory where front wishbones were starting to rust, but the condition has not yet reached the stage of a structural failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,715 miles per year. Between July 2022 and July 2024, the car covered only 1,039 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long periods of storage. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain components, infrequent use often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts, seals, and suspension bushes which can perish from age rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and front suspension components. The recurring mention of rust on the wishbones from 2021 and general underside corrosion in 2024 and 2025 necessitates a close look to ensure that surface oxidation has not transitioned into deep structural thinning. Given the low annual mileage, it is also vital to check for seized calipers or pitting on the brake discs, as these often occur in vehicles that sit for extended periods.
