2006 Daihatsu Sirion 1.3L Petrol · WR56 EOM

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 5 December 2025 at 70,173 miles with no recorded defects. Earlier that same day a failed result highlighted a severely deteriorated off‑side front outer drive‑shaft CV boot, thin off‑side front brake pads, and an inoperative off‑side rear parking brake; remedial work brought the car back to a clean pass. The pattern shows recurring CV‑boot deterioration in 2024 and 2025 but a successful resolution in the latest test, indicating a stabilising maintenance trend rather than a worsening one. At 70,173 miles the car averages roughly 3,500 miles per year over its twenty‑year life, well below typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage rose from 57,739 miles in November 2023 to 63,439 miles by December 2024, then to 70,173 miles by December 2025, reflecting steady but modest annual increments. No abrupt spikes or long periods of inactivity appear in the record, suggesting consistent, low‑intensity use rather than periods of neglect or heavy short‑term mileage. A prospective buyer should focus on the front CV boots, confirming that the inner and outer boots on both sides are intact, free of splits, and securely fitted to prevent dirt ingress. The off‑side front brake pads, previously reported as thin, merit a visual check for remaining thickness and even wear; replacement may be prudent if wear is advanced. The parking brake should be tested for full engagement on both sides, given the prior inoperative condition. Tyre edges, especially the near‑side front, should be inspected for wear close to the legal limit, and the rear stop lamp must be verified as functional. While the MOT record shows no structural or corrosion concerns, a thorough visual survey of suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust components will confirm the vehicle’s overall mechanical health.
