The DAIHATSU YRV (2001-05) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.3T 130 AUTO4 is a small, five-door Japanese hatchback, offering a taller, roomier feel than many conventional superminis. In the UK it sits between a city car and a family hatchback: compact for town use, yet practical enough for everyday errands and occasional passengers. mycarcheck.com has recorded 75 checks covering 33 different YRVs, giving a snapshot, though not a huge sample. The average private-sale valuation is £900, with average recorded mileage of 83,000 and annual use around 6,000 miles. Checks show nearly six previous keepers on average, so reviewing each car’s history is especially worthwhile. The automatic 1.3T version is an unusual choice among hatchbacks, pairing easy, relaxed driving with practical five-door access. It can suit commuters, couples or first-time buyers wanting a distinctive daily runabout, although age and ownership history matter. Against rivals, the YRV stands out for its tall cabin and distinctive design.
