AI verdict AVOID 46/100

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

This 2006 Subaru has 29 MOT tests on record with a 59% pass rate and 36,686 miles. The recurring nature of critical safety and wear items, combined with a 20-year-old vehicle, makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle has only 36,686 miles recorded over 20 years, which is extremely low and highly suspicious for its age, indicating potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage of 36,686 miles over 20 years is extremely low and highly suspicious for its age.
  • Five major failures across emissions, lights, suspension, brakes, and windscreen since 2009.
  • Recurring advisories on tyres and steering components across multiple tests.
  • First MOT test on 2009-12-24 failed for headlamp and tyre issues.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until 2026-12-15.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
  • Consistent annual mileage of 8,152 miles/yr, matching UK average.
