This 2005 Subaru has 13 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 28,768 miles. The vehicle's long history and recurring issues make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows consistent mileage from 2019 (80,779 mi) but has a critical 4-year MOT history gap from April 2015 to December 2019, meaning mileage during this period is unverified.
