Daihatsu Fieldman — MOT Reliability Overview

The Daihatsu Fieldman has an average MOT pass rate of 66.9%, which is 5.7 percentage points below the Daihatsu brand average of 72.6%. This is a reasonable result that reflects typical UK reliability standards. Regular servicing and addressing advisories promptly will help keep your Fieldman on the road.

The most common reasons a Daihatsu Fieldman fails its MOT are vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is seriously reduced, 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 shock absorber bush excessively worn. If you are preparing your Fieldman 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 Fieldman, 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.
