If you own or are considering buying a 1999 Daihatsu Move, be prepared for above-average maintenance costs. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to suspension: 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. At 56,891 average miles, these vehicles are in the mid-range where component wear starts to become a factor.
