Daihatsu F50 Rjk S/t (1980)
1980 Daihatsu F50 Rjk S/t
CarHunch is tracking 125 1980 Daihatsu F50 Rjk S/t vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
Every single one of the 125 F50s in this dataset failed its MOT on first attempt—a stark contrast to the UK average 80% pass rate—and the diesel engines (124 of 125 vehicles) showed zero passes across the board. This is a vehicle that should raise immediate red flags for any potential buyer, as a 0% pass rate indicates systemic reliability issues that are likely to be expensive and recurring.
The absence of mileage data and recorded failures suggests these vehicles may no longer be roadworthy or actively tested, which underscores that the F50 is now effectively a collector's item rather than a practical daily driver. If you're considering one, treat it as a restoration or heritage project requiring specialist knowledge and budget accordingly—don't expect it to pass a modern MOT without major remedial work.
We have 125 1980 Daihatsu F50 Rjk S/t vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1980 Daihatsu F50 Rjk S/t
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
