AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2005 Subaru has 3 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 25,637 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows a critical 21-year gap in recorded mileage, with only 25,637 miles recorded in Feb 2009, which is implausibly low for a 2005 car.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below cohort: 25,637 mi total — bottom 10% of similar SUBARUs of this age (typical: 95,117 mi, n=1664 vehicles).
- MOT HISTORY GAPS: No MOT tests recorded from 2005 to 2009, then 3 tests in 2009 — a 21-year data anomaly.
- MOT EXPIRY & STATUS: Current MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2010-07-07 — vehicle is not road legal.
- CRITICAL SAFETY RISK: 21-year-old vehicle with no verifiable mileage history — high risk of undisclosed mechanical or structural issues.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP Safety Rating: 5/5 stars (2024) — highest safety rating for a 2005 vehicle.
- No Recent Failures: The single 2009 MOT failure was immediately rectified and passed on 2009-07-08.
- Consistent Annual Usage: Once past the 2009 gap, the vehicle shows consistent, albeit low, annual mileage.
- No Recurring Major Defects: The 2009 MOT failure was isolated and not repeated in subsequent tests.
