TEG 5 MOT History

Vehicle record last updated: 14 Oct 2026, 13:41

MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Subaru Impreza (TEG 5) between June 2006 and April 2026.

The record contains 15 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 14 April 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 8 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”; “Offside Rear Brake disc in such a condition that it is seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))”; “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”.
