About the 2000 DAIHATSU TERIOS

The 2000 DAIHATSU TERIOS is a small family car with a 1296cc petrol engine. 70 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2026, making it a rare model on UK roads. Among all cars from 2000, the average MOT pass rate is 73%, and this model falls short of that benchmark.

With an average of 67,998 miles at 26 years old, DAIHATSU TERIOS owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.

2000 DAIHATSU TERIOS Fuel Costs

The 1296cc petrol engine offers a reasonable balance between performance and economy. Expect around 42 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,137 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).

What does it cost to own a 2000 DAIHATSU TERIOS?

Total estimated annual running cost is £1,887 (£157/month), broken down as £1137 fuel, £195 road tax, £55 MOT, and £500 predicted repairs. Repair costs are moderate, reflecting the 71% pass rate. Keeping on top of servicing will help avoid surprises.

DAIHATSU TERIOS Reliability Trend

Buying a Used 2000 DAIHATSU TERIOS

At 26 years old, the DAIHATSU TERIOS is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins. A full service history is especially valuable at this age. If you're flexible on year, the 2009 model has the highest pass rate at 79%. Note: with only 70 tests in our data, these figures should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.

Common Issues to Watch For

Based on the 2000 DAIHATSU TERIOS's fuel type, age, and engine size, these are the most likely problem areas to check.

Rust and Corrosion

Watch out

At 10+ years, check wheel arches, sills, subframe, and brake lines for rust. Structural corrosion is an MOT failure. Prevention is far cheaper than repair.

Suspension Bushings

Watch out

Rubber suspension bushes harden and crack with age, causing knocking noises and vague handling. A full refresh costs £300-£800 depending on the car.

Service History

Low risk

Always request a full service history. Regular servicing is the single best indicator of how well a car has been maintained, regardless of mileage.
