2008 Daihatsu Sirion 1.0L Petrol · OY08 AYX

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend over the documented period. The most recent test conducted on 29 May 2025 at 68,055 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet across the last five annual inspections indicates that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerances without the recurring failures typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,781 miles per year. Between May 2021 and May 2025, the vehicle covered only 2,522 miles, representing a very low rate of use of roughly 630 miles per annum during that interval. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and braking system. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown that mileage alone does not capture. Despite the lack of recorded MOT faults, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to age rather than mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect foring in rubber hoses and suspension bushes, which often perish and crack despite low travel. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around sills and mounting points, is essential to ensure integrity. Additionally, the brake discs should be checked for pitting or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust during long periods of inactivity.
