2018 Subaru BRZ 2.0L Petrol · BW68 OMX

The most recent MOT from October 2025 shows a pass, but it highlights a significant pattern of tyre degradation. While the vehicle has avoided major mechanical failures, the recurring advisory notices for cuts and perishing rubber across all four tyres suggest a specific maintenance issue. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be worsening in terms of consumable wear. While the 2024 MOT was completely clean, the 2025 inspection flagged damage to every single tyre, including cracking and perishing. This indicates that while the car is driven infrequently, the rubber is aging and deteriorating due to time rather than just mileage. At roughly 5,400 miles per year, this Subaru is a low-mileage example for an eight-year-old car. This low usage explains why the tyres are perishing; they are likely sitting for long periods, which can cause sidewall cracking. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it can lead to age-related decay in rubber components and potentially stagnant fluids. The history also shows a past advisory for fluctuating brake performance in 2022, though no further issues have been recorded since. Before purchasing, you must inspect the condition of all four tyres to ensure they are not nearing the legal limit or showing deep structural cracks.
