2018 Subaru WRX 2.5L Petrol · BO05 AKO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its three most recent MOT examinations without any recorded defects. The most recent test on 27 November 2025 indicates the car met all safety and emissions standards at that time. While the history shows a single failure recorded on 30 July 2022, the subsequent clean records suggest that the issues identified during that session were addressed and have not recurred. The recorded mileage of 37,207 miles over an eight-year period averages to approximately 4,651 miles per year. This low usage is significantly below the national average for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent intervals between tests, with a five-month gap between the July 2022 failure and December 2022 pass. Such low mileage often implies less wear on mechanical components like the engine and drivetrain, though it can also potentially lead to rubber-based components degrading or tyres spotting if the vehicle remained stationary for extended periods. A buyer should verify the specific cause of the failure in July 2022, as the provided summary does not detail the mechanical or structural defect. Given the low annual mileage, a physical inspection should focus on signs of age-related wear such as perished suspension bushes, cracked rubber hoses, or corrosion on the underbody. Checking the state of the brake discs and calipers is prudent, as low-use vehicles can suffer from surface rust or seized calipers if not frequently used. Buying score: 72 Risk level: Low.
