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

This 2005 Subaru has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 32,718 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and recurring structural issues present significant risks.

The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage averaging 9,508 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, including a 7,911-mile increase between Nov 2018 and Oct 2019.

Things to check

  • Oct 2019 MOT advisory: Nearside Front Suspension component ball joint excessively worn.
  • Oct 2019 MOT advisory: Offside Front Suspension component mounting excessively corroded.
  • Oct 2019 MOT advisory: Rear Sub-frame corroded but not seriously weakened (previously noted Oct 2019).
  • Oct 2019 MOT advisory: Brake hose worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened (both sides).

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,508 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
  • The Oct 2019 MOT failure for suspension was immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
  • The vehicle has a valid Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024).
