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 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 41,905 miles. The vehicle's SORN status and lack of valid MOT present significant legal and safety risks.
The mileage trajectory shows normal usage at 7,035 miles/year, but a 1,578-mile retest anomaly on 20 Aug 2014 is a significant concern.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2008-04-09 (51,806 mi) — safety-critical.
- MOT expired 2021-07-12; vehicle is currently SORN with no valid MOT.
- Mileage anomaly: 1,578-mile retest difference on 20 Aug 2014.
- Recurring suspension advisories (e.g., shock absorber, 2020-07-01).
Working in its favour
- No recent MOT failures or advisories from 2020 onwards.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,035 miles/year.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) for a 2003 Subaru.
- No recurring major system failures in the recent MOT history.
