SUBARU IMPREZA2004 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a passing MOT certificate as of June 9, 2026, with no defects recorded at 117,506 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a persistent pattern of corrosion and suspension issues. The most recent history shows a stable trend regarding mechanical failures, though the recurring advisories indicate that the underlying structural and component degradation has not been fully resolved. The total mileage of 117,506 miles represents a relatively low usage rate for a vehicle registered in 2004. Mileage accumulation between the June 2024 test at 112,963 miles and the June 2025 test at 114,281 miles is moderate. The history demonstrates that the vehicle has experienced significant corrosion and suspension component degradation across multiple tests, specifically noted in the June 2025 failure at 114,254 miles, where serious structural corrosion was flagged in the chassis mounting area. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the areas flagged repeatedly. Particular attention must be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis and body mounting points, as the previous failure noted excessive corrosion seriously affecting strength within 30cm of a mounting point. The suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, require close examination for signs of corrosion or fatigue, which were noted in the 2025 tests. Finally, the brake system requires specific attention. The recurring advisory regarding a brake pipe covered in grease or other material suggests a potential issue with fluid leaks or system integrity that needs professional assessment. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the history indicates that these structural and component weaknesses are ongoing concerns that should be addressed before significant use.
