UK

This 1990 Daihatsu Fourtrak EL Diesel sits outside the standard UK light-vehicle MOT database — it's classified as a heavy commercial vehicle and tested under the separate DVSA regime, so conventional MOT pass rates don't apply here. What we can say is that the 463 vehicles in this cohort represent a niche classic 4×4, originally built for agricultural and off-road work, and surviving examples today are almost certainly cherished by enthusiasts rather than everyday drivers.

The median mileage of 53,170 miles is remarkably low for a 1990 model, which tells you these are mostly preserved vehicles or light-use classics rather than hard-worked farm trucks. If you're considering one, your real concern isn't MOT pass rates — it's finding a specialist who understands older Japanese diesel engineering, checking for rust (a critical issue on 30+ year-old 4x4s), and verifying service history, since parts and maintenance knowledge are scarce compared to more common classics.

MOT statistics not available

We have 463 1990 Daihatsu Fourtrak El Diesel 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
