Daihatsu Cuore — MOT Reliability Overview

The Daihatsu Cuore has an average MOT pass rate of 81.1%, which is 8.6 percentage points above the Daihatsu brand average of 72.6%. This is a strong result, indicating that the Cuore is well-engineered and tends to age well mechanically. Owners can expect fewer surprises at MOT time.

The most common reasons a Daihatsu Cuore fails its MOT are the strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any seat belt anchorage (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired, the strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired, a transmission shaft constant velocity joint boot missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc. If you are preparing your Cuore for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.

Before buying a used Daihatsu Cuore, we recommend checking the full MOT history, write-off status, outstanding finance, and stolen vehicle status. These checks can be done for free using the registration number.
