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

This 2006 Subaru has 21 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 28,198 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2026-03-09, which is highly irregular for a 20-year-old car.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 7,912 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure recorded on 2020-09-30 (test 142,180 mi).
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (2018, 2020) indicate a systemic wear pattern.
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories (2011, 2025) suggest ongoing structural wear.
  • Recurring registration plate lamp advisories (2012, 2025) point to a chronic electrical fault.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,912 miles/year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
  • The 2024 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars is a strong positive for safety.
