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

This 2004 Subaru has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 61,911 miles. While mileage is consistent, the recurring nature of these issues and a significant 2017 service gap warrant careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,248 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 2017 service gap is noted.

Things to check

  • May 2018 MOT failure for headlamp and brake hose advisories, indicating ongoing maintenance needs.
  • Recurring tyre failures (Nov 2008, Nov 2009) and brake pad advisories (Nov 2008, Nov 2009) suggest a pattern of wear.
  • The 2017 MOT gap is a significant concern, as it may indicate periods of disuse or neglect.
  • Consistent advisories for lights, windscreen, and emissions across multiple tests (e.g., Nov 2008, Nov 2009) point to chronic issues.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,248 miles/year, indicating regular use.
