This 2004 Subaru has 7 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 33,755 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues suggest a pattern of reactive maintenance.
The vehicle shows consistent annual usage, averaging 10,965 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, including a normal 9,718-mile increase between July 2007 and 2008.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures (Jul 2008 advisory, Jul 2010 fail) and cuts (Jul 2010 fail) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring wiper failures (Jul 2010 fail) and cuts (Jul 2010 fail) suggest poor maintenance.
- Recurring brake pad wear advisories (Jul 2010) and damaged discs (Jul 2010) point to neglected maintenance.
- The 2004 Subaru is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a £12.50/day charge in London.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,965 miles per year, indicating regular use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
