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

This 2003 Subaru has 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 16,935 miles. The vehicle's mileage is also highly suspicious, with a 4-year gap in MOT records and extremely low annual usage.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging 4,542 miles/year, with a critical 4-year gap (Jul 2017–Mar 2022) where no MOT tests were recorded, making mileage unverified during this period.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2025-07-30; vehicle is currently not road legal.
  • Recurring major structural corrosion failures (Jun 2024, Jul 2024) indicate severe underlying issues.
  • Suspension system repeatedly failed (Jun 2024, Jul 2024) and has numerous advisories.
  • Mileage is suspiciously low, averaging 4,542 miles/year, with a 4-year unrecorded gap (Jul 2017–Mar 2022).

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, annual mileage trajectory since its first MOT.
