Based on 453 MOT tests from 22 vehicles analysed by VehicleScore®. The figures below describe that VehicleScore® sample. Recurring issues seen in VehicleScore® MOT data are not a claim that every DAIHATSU TERIOS has the same fault.
DAIHATSU TERIOS's have a average reliability rating of 437/999. The score was calculated from the average of every DAIHATSU TERIOS that has had a registered MOT.
We calculated all of the below figures by getting the score from each vehicle make/model/year/fuel, which are each calculated a score. We then generate the average score, taking into account factors such as mileage and emissions.
Also check BHP & performance, road tax, fuel economy, and CO2 emissions for the DAIHATSU TERIOS.

Recurring issues seen in VehicleScore® MOT data are inspection findings from this sample. They are not a statement that every DAIHATSU TERIOS has the same fault. The median VehicleScore® in this sample is 533 out of 999.
These groups combine equivalent MOT comments, such as the same tyre note on different corners. Counts are comment occurrences in the sample, not a percentage of cars.
VehicleScore® MOT data includes 69 advisory comments in this group. Seen mainly as an advisory. These are comment occurrences, not a share of all cars.
These MOT comments record tyres that were worn, damaged, or close to the legal tread depth when the car was inspected.
What to inspect
Check the tread depth and look for uneven wear, cracking, or damage on all four tyres.
Example MOT wording: OFFSIDE REAR TYRE SLIGHTLY DAMAGED/CRACKING OR PERISHING (5.2.3 (D) (II))
VehicleScore® MOT data includes 33 advisory comments and 9 failure comments in this group. Seen as both an advisory and a failure reason. These are comment occurrences, not a share of all cars.
These MOT comments record brake pads that were worn or below the inspection limit.
What to inspect
Ask for recent pad replacement and look at the remaining pad thickness.
Example MOT wording: FRONT BRAKE PAD(S) WEARING THIN (3.5.1G)
VehicleScore® MOT data includes 18 advisory comments and 12 failure comments in this group. Seen as both an advisory and a failure reason. These are comment occurrences, not a share of all cars.
These MOT comments record exhaust leaks, insecurity, or other exhaust defects found at inspection.
What to inspect
Listen for blowing from the exhaust and look for corrosion or loose mounts.
Example MOT wording: REAR EXHAUST MOUNTING DEFECTIVE (6.1.2 (A))
VehicleScore® MOT data includes 26 advisory comments in this group. Seen mainly as an advisory. These are comment occurrences, not a share of all cars.
These MOT comments record wear or damage in the anti-roll bar, its links, or its bushes.
What to inspect
Listen for a knock when driving over uneven ground at low speed.
Example MOT wording: NEARSIDE FRONT ANTI-ROLL BAR LINKAGE PIN OR BUSH WORN BUT NOT RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT (5.3.4 (A) (I))
VehicleScore® MOT data includes 7 advisory comments in this group. Seen mainly as an advisory. These are comment occurrences, not a share of all cars.
These MOT comments record coil springs that were corroded, fractured, or otherwise defective. They are counted separately from shock absorbers.
What to inspect
Look for a broken or heavily corroded spring and compare the ride height on both sides.
Example MOT wording: OFFSIDE FRONT COIL SPRING CORRODED (5.3.1 (B) (I))
VehicleScore® MOT data includes 7 advisory comments in this group. Seen mainly as an advisory. These are comment occurrences, not a share of all cars.
These MOT comments record a worn, corroded, or damaged suspension arm or its pin.
What to inspect
Look for play or corrosion at the arm and ask whether it has been replaced.
Example MOT wording: OFFSIDE FRONT SUSPENSION ARM PIN OR BUSH WORN BUT NOT RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT (5.3.4 (A) (I))
VehicleScore® MOT data includes 5 failure comments in this group. Seen mainly as a failure reason. These are comment occurrences, not a share of all cars.
These MOT comments record corrosion the tester could see on the body or structure. Corrosion already named on a spring, brake, or other component is counted with that component.
What to inspect
Inspect the underside, sills, and subframe for heavy corrosion, especially where an advisory mentions it.
Example MOT wording: OFFSIDE REAR SUSPENSION COMPONENT MOUNTING PRESCRIBED AREA EXCESSIVELY CORRODED SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING STRUCTURAL STRENGTH (5.3.6 (A) (I))
VehicleScore® MOT data includes 3 failure comments in this group. Seen mainly as a failure reason. These are comment occurrences, not a share of all cars.
These MOT comments record a worn or damaged ball joint. Track rod ends are counted with steering, not here.
What to inspect
Ask for the joint to be checked for play with the suspension loaded and unloaded.
Example MOT wording: NEARSIDE FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM BALL JOINT EXCESSIVELY WORN (5.3.4 (A) (I))
A model year is only commented on when VehicleScore® has at least 5 vehicles from that year.

This is an inspection checklist based on MOT comments in the VehicleScore® sample. It does not mean the car you are looking at has these defects.
Tyre wear. Check the tread depth and look for uneven wear, cracking, or damage on all four tyres.
Brake pad wear. Ask for recent pad replacement and look at the remaining pad thickness.
Exhaust. Listen for blowing from the exhaust and look for corrosion or loose mounts.
Anti-roll bar issues. Listen for a knock when driving over uneven ground at low speed.
Coil spring issues. Look for a broken or heavily corroded spring and compare the ride height on both sides.
Suspension arm issues. Look for play or corrosion at the arm and ask whether it has been replaced.
Corrosion. Inspect the underside, sills, and subframe for heavy corrosion, especially where an advisory mentions it.
Ball joint wear. Ask for the joint to be checked for play with the suspension loaded and unloaded.
Common problems tell you what can affect DAIHATSU TERIOSs generally. VehicleScore® can check the history of the actual car you're considering.
VehicleScore® analyses MOT histories from vehicles in its own dataset. Sample sizes vary by model, and a small sample is labelled as such. MOT data records roadworthiness and inspection defects. It does not capture every mechanical or electronic problem a car can have, and a comment on one test is not proof that the model has an inherent fault.
