Got a specific Daihatsu Domino you're checking out?
The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
The 1987 Daihatsu Domino is a light commercial van, and unfortunately no MOT test data is available for this cohort in the DVLA's light-vehicle database—vehicles of this age and type may fall outside standard testing regimes or have very limited surviving examples. Without reliable MOT statistics, we cannot assess its actual pass rates or defect patterns, so any reliability verdict would be speculation. What we do know is that any 1987 Domino still on the road today has survived nearly four decades, which itself speaks to basic durability, but a pre-purchase inspection by a van specialist is essential since you cannot rely on aggregated MOT trends. Focus your due diligence on the specific vehicle's service history, rust (critical for a van of this age), and the condition of its commercial-use drivetrain rather than cohort averages.
We have 1,027 1987 Daihatsu Domino vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.
There are a few reasons this can happen:
- Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
- Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
- MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
- Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT

Brake pipes, sills and subframes are the key areas on a vehicle this age — structural rust is hard to spot without getting underneath. A mechanic will check all of this before you commit, and give you a concrete basis to negotiate on price.
