Things to check

  • Recurring exhaust advisories (Mar 2007, Jun 2011) and shock absorber leaks (Mar 2009, Jun 2011) indicate chronic wear.
  • Dangerous defects recorded for the 2003 Subaru, including a serious fluid leak from the offside rear shock absorber (Mar 2009, Jun 2011).
  • Multiple recurring failures for lights (Jun 2015) and windscreen wipers (Mar 2008, Jun 2015) suggest a pattern of neglect.
  • The vehicle has been off the road (SORN) since 2016, implying a long period of inactivity and potential issues.

  • Consistent and normal annual mileage averaging 10,906 miles/year, showing no signs of tampering.
  • The vehicle has a long service history, with consistent MOT testing and retesting, indicating regular maintenance.
