About Daihatsu Atrai7 MOT Data
The Daihatsu Atrai7 is a rare vehicle in the UK, with 132 MOT test results recorded in our database spanning 0 manufacture years. It has an overall MOT pass rate of 67.4% and a failure rate of 32.6%, which is slightly above the UK average of approximately 37%.
For Daihatsu Atrai7 owners, these results suggest a reliable vehicle that generally passes its MOT without major issues. Focus your pre-MOT checks on noise, emissions and leaks and lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment for the best chance of a first-time pass. Use our detailed year-by-year breakdown and failure analysis below to understand how your specific Atrai7 is likely to perform.
Noise, emissions and leaks — 18.2% of failures
Noise, emissions and leaks issues account for 18.2% of MOT failures on the Daihatsu Atrai7. Emissions failures occur when exhaust gases exceed legal limits for carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), or particulate matter (diesel). Common causes include faulty oxygen sensors, clogged catalytic converters, or DPF issues on diesel vehicles. Typical repair costs: £100–1,000+. Pre-MOT check: If the engine management light is on, get it diagnosed before the MOT. For diesel cars, ensure the DPF has completed a regeneration cycle. Regular servicing and using premium fuel before the test can help.
Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment — 17.4% of failures
Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment issues account for 17.4% of MOT failures on the Daihatsu Atrai7. Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.
Suspension — 15.2% of failures
Suspension issues account for 15.2% of MOT failures on the Daihatsu Atrai7. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
