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 24 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 34,804 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and repeated issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 6,211 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, showing normal usage over its 21-year lifespan.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake advisories across 5 tests (Oct 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Recurring suspension advisories across 2 tests (Oct 2022, 2024) suggest underlying issues.
  • Major exhaust emissions failure on 2024-10-20, following 4 advisories, points to a significant system issue.
  • Consistent headlamp failures (Oct 2019, 2024) and 12 minor light defects show a pattern of electrical neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-10-20, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 6,211 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
  • No recent major failures or advisories from the last MOT (Oct 2025).
