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

This 2004 Subaru has 23 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 16,346 miles. While mileage is low, the MOT history reveals multiple structural concerns and a recent mileage anomaly.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage (5,185 mi/yr), but a critical mileage anomaly occurred on 21 Nov 2024, where the first test recorded 109,897 miles, then a retest on 28 Nov 2024 recorded 107,920 miles, a 1,977-mile decrease.

Things to check

  • Offside Rear Inner Nail in tyre sidewall (May 2019) — indicates a puncture repair.
  • Offside Rear Seat belt anchorage significantly reduced (Nov 2024) — a safety-critical failure.
  • Offside Front Sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened (Nov 2024) — a major structural concern.
  • Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover (Nov 2024) — a recurring suspension advisory.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 27 Nov 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No recurring failures on the same system across multiple tests.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,185 mi/yr) suggests light use.
