2016 Subaru Impreza 1.6L Petrol · AF66 AAN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on 26 June 2026 at 34,119 miles. No defects were recorded during this inspection, suggesting that the mechanical and safety components currently meet the minimum standard. The history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with the vehicle maintaining its operational status without major structural or mechanical failures over the last seven years. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old Subaru, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per year. Data shows a significant usage increase between July 2024 and July 2025, where the car covered 7,306 miles in just twelve months. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine compared to high-mileage examples. However, the long periods of low use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, or surface corrosion on brake brake discs. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the tyre condition, as the July 2024 test flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as being near the legal limit and showing edge wear. While these were likely replaced before the 2025 test, the current set should be checked for uneven wear to rule out alignment issues. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to inspect the brake calipers for seizing and the suspension bushes for cracking, which can suffer on vehicles that sit for extended periods.
