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 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 15,306 miles. While many advisories were resolved, the unusually low mileage and a significant mileage jump before the last MOT raise serious concerns.

The vehicle shows unusually low annual mileage (6,364 mi/yr) until Apr 2018, then a significant jump to 20,646 miles in just 11 months, indicating a potential period of inactivity or a major change in usage.

Things to check

  • Apr 2018: Major failure for Nearside Front Tyre with deep cut, after 10+ years of advisories.
  • Apr 2018: Major failure for Nearside Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm, after 2+ years of advisories.
  • Apr 2018: Major failure for Nearside Headlamp aim too low, after 3+ years of advisories.
  • May 2018: Major failure for Nearside Headlamp aim too high, immediately after previous failure.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
