The DAIHATSU TERIOS (2006-10) is a small, five-door SUV that brings a useful raised driving position and compact, easy-to-park dimensions to the used-car market. It offers a more practical, family-friendly feel than tiny off-roaders, while its four-wheel-drive character makes it appealing beyond ordinary city cars. mycarcheck.com has recorded 1,185 look-ups across 593 different VINs, a substantial sample for this model. Checks show an average private-sale value of £2,400 and average recorded mileage of 92,000 miles; typical annual use is around 5,000 miles. Cars have averaged about 3.4 previous keepers, so checking each example’s history and condition is worthwhile. The Terios suits couples, families and drivers wanting a compact runabout for town, country lanes and slippery tracks. Compared with a Suzuki Jimny, it feels less specialist and more accommodating for everyday errands; its upright shape and simple, practical approach are its attractions. Expect an older, modestly equipped car, so inspect carefully.
