AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2011 Subaru has 14 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 29,535 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated advisories and one failure suggest a need for thorough inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,752 miles/year, with a notable drop in annual usage from 14,000+ miles to 2,500-5,500 miles between 2022 and 2024.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (2015, 2016, 2017, 2024) and one failure (2017) indicate a history of wear and tear.
- Brake pad wear advisories (2017, 2021) and one failure (2017) suggest a pattern of brake maintenance needs.
- Bodywork and sill corrosion advisories (2015, 2016, 2017) point to potential structural rust issues.
- Headlamp issues (2015, 2017) and a major failure (2017) highlight recurring electrical and lighting problems.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-21 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory (29,535 mi over 15 years) suggests regular use, not prolonged storage.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Recent clean MOT pass in Aug 2025 with no immediate retest required.
