2007 Daihatsu Terios 1.5L Petrol · WV07 AEB

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 16 March 2026 at 98,118 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test on 5 March 2026, the record shows no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a minor administrative error or a quick rectification of a trivial issue before the successful retest eleven days later. The mileage is notably low for a nineteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,164 miles per year. The accumulation has remained consistent over the last few years, rising from 87,476 miles in March 2023 to 98,118 miles in March 2026. This steady increase indicates the car has been used regularly rather than left standing for long periods, which typically helps preserve rubber seals and prevents battery degradation. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no advisories or failures related to mechanical wear, suspension bushes, or brake discs over the last four years. This lack of recorded defects is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance. A buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection for structural corrosion, particularly on the chassis and sills, as MOT testers sometimes overlook surface rust that does not yet compromise structural integrity. Checking for perished tyres or leaking shock absorbers is also advisable, as these consumables may not have triggered a failure but could be nearing the end of their service life given the vehicle's age.
