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 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 24,575 miles. The recurring lighting and tyre advisories, combined with a 4-year service gap, present significant unknown risks.

A 4-year unverified mileage gap exists between Nov 2010 (40,317 mi) and Aug 2015 (no test recorded), with a 16,654 mi/yr jump before Nov 2010, indicating a critical data integrity issue.

Things to check

  • Unverified 4-year mileage gap (Nov 2010–Aug 2015) — critical data integrity issue.
  • No valid MOT since 2024-12-29 — vehicle is currently not road legal.
  • Recurring tyre and lighting advisories — consistent wear pattern on critical systems.
  • 20-year-old vehicle with no current MOT — immediate and costly re-MOT and safety checks required.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) — indicates strong safety features.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects — the car passed its last test in Dec 2024.
