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 23 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 32,147 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age (4,252 miles/yr) is a significant red flag for potential long-term neglect.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 4,252 miles/year, with a 20-year history of only 32,147 miles, which is highly unusual for a 2006 car.
Things to check
- Extremely low mileage (4,252 miles/yr) for a 20-year-old vehicle is a major red flag.
- Recurring major failures in suspension (Aug 2022, 2023) and brakes (Aug 2021, 2022) indicate systemic neglect.
- High-concern advisories for brake discs (Aug 2018, 2022) and rear shock mounting (Aug 2022) suggest imminent repair needs.
- The 2009-07-29 FAILED MOT for exposed tyre ply and the 2025-08-26 ADVISORY for subframe corrosion point to severe underlying issues.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-08-26, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
- The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2024) is a positive for modern safety standards.
