Insight summary

Daihatsu Terios is a very rare model in this snapshot, with 2,992 represented vehicles and 0.01% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 69.5% from 29,369 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 48. The current pool shows an average of 95,831 miles and an average age of 18.3 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 95,831 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by other, and the most frequent defect themes are engine warning light, exhaust emissions and parking brake. The practical read is that the Daihatsu Terios looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
