Deimos regularly passes in front of the Sun as seen from Mars.
It is too small to cause a total eclipse, appearing only as a small black dot moving across the Sun.
Its angular diameter is only about 2.5 times the angular diameter of Venus during a transit of Venus from Earth.
On 4 March 2004 a transit of Deimos was photographed by Mars rover Opportunity, and on 13 March 2004 a transit was photographed by Mars rover Spirit.
