This 2006 Subaru has 20 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 21,721 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of dangerous tyre defects and low annual mileage warrants a thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 4,389 miles/year, with a significant drop from 72,737 miles in June 2018 to 77,453 miles in December 2020, suggesting a period of inactivity or potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Recurring DANGEROUS tyre defects (4 instances) across multiple tests indicate a persistent safety concern.
- Mileage trajectory shows a significant drop from 72,737 miles (June 2018) to 77,453 miles (Dec 2020), suggesting potential odometer fraud.
- The 2021 MOT gap suggests the vehicle may have been off-road or SORN, impacting maintenance and safety.
- Brake pad advisories (Jan 2022, Jan 2024) and suspension arm (Feb 2026) are recurring issues that need attention.
Working in its favour
- Vehicle has a valid MOT until February 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No major structural corrosion or brake system failures are evident in the MOT history.
- The car has consistently passed retests after failures, showing prompt owner action.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
