About the Daimler 4.0 auto
The Daimler 4.0 auto has been tested 70 times in 2026 MOT data across 2 model years (1993 to 1994), with an average pass rate of 82%. That's close to the national average of 82%. Available as petrol.
Best and Worst Years
The 1994 model is the most reliable with a 89% pass rate from 38 tests. The 1993 model has the lowest at 75%. The 14 point spread between years means reliability varies somewhat, but no year is dramatically different.
Mileage Across Years
The oldest model in our data (1993) averages 123,027 miles, while the newest (1994) averages 84,468 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
Compared to the Daimler brand average of 77%, the 4.0 auto performs 5 points better, making it one of the more reliable options in the Daimler range.
Estimated Running Costs
Based on 7,400 miles/year, current fuel prices, and MOT pass rate data. Insurance not included.
