This 2009 Subaru has 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 35,992 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with the extensive community-reported faults, warrants extreme caution.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 35,992 miles over 17 years, averaging 7,467 miles per year, which is below the UK average of 8,000 miles annually.
Things to check
- Timing belt and head gasket issues are a major concern for this 2009 Subaru, as per extensive community-reported faults.
- The 2019 MOT gap, combined with the vehicle's age, suggests potential periods of inactivity or neglect.
- The 'Just passed MOT' seller tactic is a concern given the 2020 advisories on brakes and exhaust.
- The 'Untaxed' tax status and 'Not valid' MOT status as of the latest data point require immediate clarification.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- No MOT failures recorded across all tests, indicating no immediate safety concerns.
- Consistent, normal mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- The 2024 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars is a strong positive for safety.
