This 2011 Subaru has 15 MOT tests on record with a 87% pass rate and 18,609 miles.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,675 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating light usage.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories (shock, arm, bush) across 4 tests (Jan 2019, 2025) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring brake advisories (Jan 2019, 2025) suggest ongoing issues with brake system components.
- DANGEROUS tyre defect (Jan 2022) and recurring tyre advisories (Jan 2019, 2025) point to a history of poor tyre maintenance.
- Major engine/oil failure (Jan 2022) is a serious defect, though no subsequent advisories were noted.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until January 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent low annual mileage (4,675 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the 2022 engine failure.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) indicates a well-regarded safety record for this model.
