Daihatsu Spare Parts Prices in UAE: Genuine, Used and Aftermarket Options

September 26, 2026

The cheapest Daihatsu part in the UAE is not necessarily the cheapest repair. That sounds obvious, yet the mistake happens constantly: someone finds a radiator for AED 110, an aftermarket component for AED 200, or a used mechanical assembly for a fraction of the price of a new one and assumes the decision is finished.

It isn't.

Daihatsu's overseas range spans different production markets and generations. Its official model information lists Terios, Sirion and Rocky among Indonesia-market vehicles, while Sirion is also linked to Malaysian production through the Myvi/Sirion programme. Daihatsu says its vehicles are active in around 80 countries and regions as of June 2026. 

That international footprint is one reason Daihatsu spare parts prices in UAE can be surprisingly uneven. The same badge can lead to completely different part numbers, suppliers and availability depending on the year, engine, chassis and regional specification.

UAE price reference: September 2026. The figures below are public UAE listing observations where stated, not fixed quotations. Labour, VAT, shipping, availability and VIN-specific fitment can change the final amount.

What Daihatsu spare parts actually cost in the UAE

There is no single “Daihatsu parts price”.

A small service component might sit below AED 100, while a major mechanical assembly can run into thousands. Public UAE listings currently show, for example, Daihatsu radiator applications at AED 110, AED 126.50 and AED 137.50, while a separate UAE listing for a Materia/Sirion CV-joint application shows AED 199.22 plus VAT. 

Those numbers are useful reference points, but only if the application matches.

A genuine part is priced differently from an aftermarket one

Genuine parts are normally sold around the vehicle manufacturer's specification and supply chain.

Aftermarket parts can be considerably cheaper, but the useful question is not simply whether the box says “aftermarket”. It is who manufactured it, what specification it follows, what warranty accompanies it and whether the application is exact.

For an older Terios used as a daily commuter, the sensible buying decision may be completely different from a rare Rocky where availability matters more than shaving AED 50 from the invoice.

Used parts change the calculation again

A used original component can be attractive when the new replacement is expensive or difficult to source.

But used price should be read alongside:

• donor mileage 
• donor history 
• condition 
• testing 
• warranty 
• installation labour 
• return policy 

A used gearbox at AED 1,200 is not automatically cheaper than a new component at AED 2,000 if the used unit requires another removal after two weeks.

Terios has several pricing realities

Terios parts are among the easier Daihatsu components to encounter in UAE listings, but “Terios” still isn't sufficient identification.

Public UAE radiator listings include a 2007 Terios application at AED 137.50. 

That is a useful dated market observation, not a universal Terios radiator price. Different generations, engines, transmissions and cooling layouts can change the component.

Sirion radiator prices show how cheap some parts can be

A UAE radiator supplier currently lists a 2002 Daihatsu Sirion application at AED 110 and a 2004 application at AED 126.50. 

The difference is small enough to tempt a buyer into thinking all Sirion radiators should sit around the same price.

That's precisely the wrong conclusion.

The application, automatic/manual configuration, dimensions, mounting points and hose arrangement still need to match.

Rocky pricing is harder to generalise

Current UAE public listings for Daihatsu Rocky show only a small number of offers in one marketplace snapshot, including an axle bearing at AED 200, cam seal at AED 40, catalytic converter at AED 2,310, exhaust gasket at AED 30 and coolant-temperature sensor at AED 310. 

Notice the spread.

AED 40 to AED 2,310 is not a meaningful “Rocky parts average”. It simply demonstrates how radically part category changes the price.

Charade and Rocky can share applications

The UAE Rocky listings provide an interesting example: the exhaust gasket listed at AED 30 and coolant-temperature sensor at AED 310 are specified for 1988–1992 Charade and 1990–1992 Rocky applications. 

This is precisely why old Daihatsu owners should search by part number and application, not just by model name.

A cross-model match can save money.

A false cross-model match can waste it.

Materia parts need particularly careful identification

Materia owners are dealing with an older vehicle platform, so availability can be more important than the nominal price.

A UAE listing for a CV joint application identifies the part as suitable for Daihatsu Materia and Sirion as well as related applications, with a listed price of AED 199.22 plus VAT. The listing also provides an OEM reference and recommends VIN fitment checking. 

That is a useful example of what a serious parts listing should provide: application, part number and fitment information.

Genuine does not mean “always worth the extra money”

For some parts, genuine specification is particularly valuable.

Think sensors, unusual electrical modules, certain engine components and application-sensitive assemblies.

For simpler components such as some filters, belts or cooling components, a reputable aftermarket manufacturer may provide a perfectly sensible alternative if the specification and fitment are correct.

The decision should follow the component, not a blanket rule.

Aftermarket prices can look attractive for routine maintenance

Filters, brake components, belts, cooling parts and similar maintenance items are where aftermarket competition can make the largest difference.

The danger is buying an anonymous low-cost component simply because its dimensions look right.

For routine service parts, manufacturer quality, filtration specification, material quality and warranty can matter more than a small headline saving.

Filters are a classic example

A filter is not expensive enough to justify gambling on a poor-quality product.

Oil, air, fuel and cabin filters all have different jobs.

A cheap air filter that fits the housing but seals badly around the perimeter is not necessarily a successful purchase. The same principle applies to an oil filter whose construction or bypass specification is unsuitable for the engine.

Brake parts need a different price philosophy

Brake pads and discs are safety-critical wear components.

Used friction material is generally a poor place to pursue savings. The UAE market guidance also distinguishes wear items from components where used parts can make more economic sense. 

For brakes, compare reputable new options by specification, manufacturer, warranty and total installed price.

Suspension pricing can be misleading

A cheap used shock absorber can look attractive until labour is added.

If the workshop must remove the same assembly twice, the original saving disappears quickly.

For suspension, compare:

part price + fitting + alignment where required + warranty

rather than comparing two component prices in isolation.

Radiators are one of the clearer UAE price examples

The September 2026 UAE public listings provide a useful range:

These are specific listing observations, not a recommended market average. 

The relatively low figures also show why replacing a radiator with a questionable used unit may not always make economic sense.

Cooling-system parts deserve special attention in UAE conditions

The radiator is only one part of the cooling system.

A proper repair may involve checking:

• thermostat 
• water pump 
• radiator cap 
• fan 
• fan control 
• coolant hoses 
• expansion tank 
• temperature sensor 
• coolant condition 

If the original overheating problem is caused by a failed thermostat, fitting another radiator solves very little.

Engine parts can move into a completely different price bracket

A sensor might cost a few hundred dirhams.

An engine assembly can cost thousands.

One current UAE used-parts market guide gives broad used-engine ranges of AED 1,500–4,500 for Japanese sedans, but this is a general UAE market reference rather than Daihatsu-specific pricing. 

For Daihatsu, donor availability and exact engine code can matter more than any generic range.

Don't price an engine by “Daihatsu engine”

The engine code matters.

So do:

• displacement 
• fuel type 
• generation 
• transmission 
• ECU compatibility 
• intake/exhaust arrangement  
• mounting configuration 
• regional specification 

A visually similar engine can become an expensive installation problem.

A used engine needs a condition report

Before buying a used Daihatsu engine, ask for whatever evidence is realistically available:

• donor mileage 
• compression results 
• oil condition 
• coolant condition 
• visible leaks 
• reason for removal 
• donor accident history 
• warranty 
• photographs of the actual engine 

A seller saying “good condition” is not a mechanical test.

Compression testing can change the buying decision

For a petrol engine, compression testing can help identify major cylinder-to-cylinder differences.

It does not prove an engine is perfect.

A reasonable compression result cannot rule out every cooling, lubrication, oil-consumption or bearing problem. But poor or uneven results can stop a bad purchase before installation.

Gearbox prices need the same discipline

Used automatic gearboxes in the broader UAE market are commonly quoted in the hundreds to several thousands of dirhams depending on make and condition; one current UAE guide places used automatic gearbox pricing broadly around AED 800–3,500. 

That should not be presented as a Daihatsu-specific tariff.

For a Daihatsu gearbox, the transmission code and donor history are much more meaningful.

The cheapest gearbox can become the most expensive gearbox

Consider the actual repair chain.

Used gearbox → fitting → fluid → adaptation/checking → road test

If the gearbox fails and has to be removed again, you may pay the labour twice.

A unit with a meaningful warranty can therefore justify a higher purchase price.

Clutches are a poor used-parts bargain

Clutch discs are wear components.

If a gearbox is already out, fitting an old clutch simply because it is available cheaply can create a false saving.

This is one of the clearest situations where the part price should not dictate the repair.

Alternators and starters sit somewhere in the middle

Used units can be viable.

But testing matters.

A bench-tested alternator with a warranty is a different proposition from an untested alternator removed from an unknown donor.

For an older Daihatsu, the difference between those two purchasing routes can be more important than AED 100–200.

A/C compressors deserve UAE-specific scrutiny

Air-conditioning components work hard in the UAE.

A used compressor should be checked for:

• shaft play 
• pulley/bearing noise 
• clutch operation where applicable 
• oil contamination 
• housing damage 
• correct compressor specification 

And the workshop should investigate why the previous compressor failed.

Otherwise the replacement can inherit the original problem.

Electronics can have a low-looking price and a high installation cost

A used ECU, body-control module, immobiliser component or other electronic module can appear inexpensive.

Then coding enters the picture.

A part costing AED 300 may require programming, diagnosis and additional configuration. If it is incompatible, the workshop may spend time proving what the seller should have established before dispatch.

Headlamp prices depend heavily on specification

A used headlamp can make financial sense for an older Daihatsu.

But inspect:

• lens condition 
• mounting tabs 
• adjusters 
• moisture 
• reflector condition 
• connectors 
• bulb configuration 

A cracked mounting point can turn an apparently cheap lamp into a poor purchase.

Body panels are often where used parts make the most financial sense

Doors, wings, bonnets, tailgates and some trim pieces are relatively straightforward to evaluate visually.

A straight original panel with good paint can save considerable money compared with sourcing a new replacement and then painting it.

Here, condition is easier to establish than it is with an engine or gearbox.

Paint colour still affects the real price

A used door in the correct colour can reduce bodyshop work.

A cheap panel in the wrong colour may require preparation and repainting.

For an older Daihatsu, the labour can become more expensive than the panel itself.

Genuine, OEM and aftermarket should not be treated as interchangeable words

They describe different purchasing routes.

Genuine: supplied as the vehicle manufacturer's branded part.

OEM: commonly used to describe original-equipment manufacturing relationships, but the seller's claim should be verified.

Aftermarket: made for replacement use by an independent manufacturer.

Used genuine: an original component removed from another vehicle.

Reconditioned: a previously used component restored or rebuilt to a stated process.

The price hierarchy is not fixed.

Used can be 40–70% cheaper in some UAE categories — but that is not a Daihatsu tariff

A current UAE market guide gives broad trade ranges suggesting used or reconditioned panels, lamps, engines and gearboxes can be around 40–70% below dealer/genuine baseline pricing, while quality aftermarket components can be 30–60% lower. 

Treat these as broad market guidance, not Daihatsu-specific quotations.

The actual difference for a Terios radiator, Sirion sensor or Rocky gearbox can be completely different.

Warranty changes the effective price

Imagine two offers:

The second part is AED 200 more expensive.

But if the first fails after installation and you pay removal and refitting again, the apparent saving disappears.

VAT should be separated from the headline price

Some UAE listings display prices before VAT while others show totals including VAT.

For example, the Materia/Sirion CV-joint listing displays AED 199.22 plus VAT and AED 209.19 including VAT. 

That small distinction matters when comparing quotations from different suppliers.

Part price and repair price are different numbers

A radiator at AED 137.50 is not a AED 137.50 repair.

The final invoice could also contain:

• coolant 
• clamps or hoses 
• labour 
• diagnosis 
• pressure testing 
• disposal/flush requirements 
• VAT 

Likewise, a gearbox price excludes the labour required to remove and install it unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi can produce different sourcing economics

Daihatsu parts availability is strongly influenced by where the component is sourced and whether the seller has it physically in stock.

A public UAE radiator supplier listing, for example, identifies its operation in Sharjah Industrial Area 2. 

Used-parts markets and workshops in different emirates can also have different stock profiles.

That means delivery time should form part of the comparison.

Availability can matter more than a small price difference

Suppose:

AED 180 — available today

versus

AED 140 — special order, uncertain delivery

If the vehicle is already occupying a workshop bay, the AED 40 saving may not be the financially sensible choice.

This is particularly relevant to older Daihatsu models where inventory can be irregular.

International sourcing explains some Daihatsu price variation

Daihatsu has production and development operations in Indonesia and Malaysia, and its official data shows substantial overseas manufacturing activity. 

That matters in the UAE because the same model name can be associated with different regional supply chains.

A part imported from one market may not correspond exactly with another vehicle specification.

Rocky is a good example of why generation matters

Daihatsu's current overseas information lists Rocky in Indonesia, while its corporate production data identifies Indonesian Rocky/RAIZE production and newer hybrid activity. 

At the same time, UAE listings still contain older Rocky applications. One UAE classified listing for used Rocky parts covers model years 2009–2014, while current public parts listings also contain much older 1990–1992 Rocky applications. 

So “Rocky spare parts price” is almost meaningless without the generation.

Sirion pricing also needs generation and engine information

The same principle applies to Sirion.

Daihatsu officially lists Sirion among Indonesia-market overseas models, while its corporate data links Sirion with Malaysia's Myvi production programme. 

A UAE buyer therefore needs more than the badge before accepting a quotation.

Before You Click Buy

For a Daihatsu parts quotation, I would want these fields visible:

If the supplier cannot fill several of these fields, the quotation isn't yet complete.

Where PartFinder UAE fits into the price decision

For a UAE buyer, the useful approach is to compare the same correctly identified part at PartFinder UAE across genuine, aftermarket, used and reconditioned routes rather than comparing four vaguely similar listings.

VIN, chassis information and the original part number give the search a much better starting point. That becomes particularly valuable with older Daihatsu models where the badge covers several generations and regional specifications.

A practical Daihatsu price matrix

The cheapest Daihatsu part is often the wrong benchmark

The better question is:

What will this component cost me from purchase to successful installation?

A AED 100 radiator with no warranty, incorrect fitment or poor construction can be more expensive than a AED 180 component that fits correctly and carries a usable warranty.

Likewise, a AED 1,500 used gearbox may be better value than a AED 900 unknown unit if the first comes with documented testing and the second does not.

That is the real economics of Daihatsu spare parts in the UAE.
