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

This 2003 Subaru has 25 MOT tests on record with a 84% pass rate and 13,701 miles. This fundamental data gap makes a reliable assessment impossible and raises serious concerns about its past maintenance and roadworthiness.

No mileage trajectory analysis is possible due to the complete absence of MOT test records for the vehicle's first 13 years of registration.

Things to check

  • Complete absence of MOT test records for the vehicle's first 13 years (2003–2006).
  • No verifiable mileage history for the first 13 years of the vehicle's life.
  • The 2003 Subaru is 23 years old with no recorded MOT history for its critical early life.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
  • Current valid MOT until 2026-10-09, indicating it is roadworthy now.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current good condition.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,475 mi/yr) since 2006, indicating light use.
