2009 Daihatsu Sirion 1.3L Petrol · YB09 CAA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a recurring trend of suspension and brake system degradation. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 86,267 miles passed, it revealed advisories for a worn nearside front tyre and slight play in the lower suspension arm ball joint. This follows a failure in 2023 for the same ball joint, suggesting that while components are being replaced upon failure, the rate of wear remains consistent rather than improving. At roughly 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 86,267 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,075 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 4,500 miles driven between the November 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 4,470 miles leading into late 2025. Low mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, which aligns with the structural corrosion noted on the brake pipes in recent years. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and front suspension assembly. The 2024 failure due to excessive corrosion on the offside rear brake pipe indicates that the vehicle is susceptible to rust-related failures, requiring a close look at all lines for thinning or weeping. Furthermore, because the nearside front ball joint has appeared as both a failure and an advisory within a twenty-four-month period, the buyer should verify that a quality replacement was performed and check the remaining bushings for signs of premature perish or tearing.
