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 21 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 45,627 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated advisories for engine oil and suspension components suggest a need for immediate and ongoing maintenance.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,659 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant jump in the last test (Aug 2025) suggests a change in usage.

Things to check

  • Engine oil advisory recurring in Aug 2020 and Aug 2025 tests, indicating a persistent issue.
  • Suspension advisories for coil spring and shock absorber noted in Aug 2025, suggesting wear.
  • Brake disc wear advisory from Aug 2025, combined with previous brake pad advisories, signals significant brake system wear.
  • Recurring steering advisories from Aug 2025, alongside engine oil, point to a broader systemic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • No MOT failures recorded across 8 tests, demonstrating a generally well-maintained vehicle.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,659 miles, indicating regular use without suspicious gaps.
