Used Daihatsu Sirion for sale in Europe

About the Daihatsu Sirion

The Daihatsu Sirion is a small five-door hatchback made for city driving and short commutes. It is compact on the outside but has a fairly tall body and a usable rear seat for its size. It suits drivers who want a low-cost runabout for town use rather than a quick or powerful car.

In our listings the Sirion appears with model years from 2000 to 2012. The engines are small petrol units, with a three-cylinder 1.0 and a four-cylinder 1.3 the familiar choices. Some cars carry an aftermarket LPG conversion. Gearboxes are either a manual or a conventional automatic, and front-wheel drive was the usual layout.

Generations

• M100 (1998-2004) — The first Sirion was a small, rounded hatchback sold with compact petrol engines.
• M300 (2004-2012) — The second generation has a larger and more upright body, with 1.0 and 1.3 petrol engines in the range.

Typical prices

Across 393 Sirion listings the median asking price is €2,200. Prices rise with newer model years, though not in a straight line. Cars from 2006 have a median of €1,600, while 2010 cars have a median of €3,600. The oldest cars, from 2000, are not the cheapest group, so condition and mileage matter as much as age. Individual cars vary widely within each year, and country, equipment and LPG fitment can shift the figure. These are asking prices in our listings on 2026-11-10, not a valuation.

What to check when buying a used Daihatsu Sirion

Inspect the car in daylight, ask for the full service history and take a test drive that includes cold starts and a short motorway run. Compare the paperwork with what you see on the car.

• Rust on body and underside

  Check sills, wheel arches, door bottoms, the tailgate edge and the underbody for corrosion. Small cars from the 2000s are often used in towns and on salted roads, so look closely at older examples and at any past repairs.

• Timing belt or chain history

  Ask which engine the car has and how its timing drive is maintained. Look for invoices showing when a belt or chain, and related parts, were last serviced. A missing record on a high-mileage car is a reason to negotiate or walk away.

• Cold start and engine running

  Start the engine from cold. Listen for rattles, rough idling or a long crank, and look for oil or coolant leaks. Small three-cylinder engines can feel lively but should still run evenly without smoke or warning lights.

• Automatic shifts and fluid · Automatic gearbox

  On automatic cars, check that gears engage promptly and shift smoothly, with no flaring or jerking. Ask whether the gearbox fluid has been changed, since neglected fluid can shorten a gearbox's life.

• LPG system paperwork · LPG-converted cars

  Many listed cars run on LPG. Ask for the installation certificate and the tank inspection or expiry date, and check the gas system for leaks or tampering. Confirm that the car starts and runs on both fuels, and that the conversion is accepted in your country.

• Suspension, brakes and tyres

  Test drive over uneven roads and listen for knocks from the suspension. Check for uneven tyre wear, pulling under braking and worn brake discs. These are ordinary wear items, but they add up on cars with little recent maintenance.

• Mileage and ownership records

  Compare the odometer reading with service stamps, test certificates and past invoices. Cars sold across borders can have gaps in their history, so ask for documents from each country where the car was registered.
