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 25 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 39,000 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and repeated issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle exhibits extremely low annual mileage averaging 3,976 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards, suggesting periods of inactivity or very light use.

Things to check

  • Sep 2025 MOT: Exhaust advisory and brake system advisory indicate imminent failures.
  • Aug 2019 MOT: Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken, a major safety failure.
  • Aug 2018 MOT: Offside Front Lower Suspension arm corroded and seriously weakened.
  • Aug 2018 MOT: Exhaust Lambda reading outside limits, a major emissions failure.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until September 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No mileage discrepancies or signs of odometer fraud detected.
  • All past major failures were promptly rectified and retested successfully.
