AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2005 Subaru has 13 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 27,892 miles. The low annual mileage for its age, combined with a 21-year-old vehicle, presents significant long-term risks.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 27,892 miles over 21 years, averaging 10,194 miles per year, which is slightly above the UK average of 8,000.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures and advisories across 7 tests (Jun 2009, Aug 2010, Sep 2011, Sep 2012, Oct 2013, Oct 2013, Dec 2015).
  • Recurring shock absorber fluid leak failures on the Nearside Rear (Jun 2009, Sep 2011, Sep 2011).
  • Persistent tyre wear advisories in Jun 2009 and Jun 2009.
  • The vehicle has been off the road since 2016 (SORN status).

Working in its favour

  • The most recent MOT (Dec 2015) passed cleanly after a failure, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, annual mileage trajectory over its lifespan.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for this model provides a strong safety foundation.
