Our Verdict
A well-maintained example of a modern sports car with low mileage and a clean recent MOT record. It is highly recommended for those seeking an engaging driving experience without excessive wear.
When inspecting this specific BRZ, prioritize the service history records. Given the low mileage, ensure that oil changes have been performed annually, rather than just by mileage intervals, to keep the Boxer engine healthy. Pay close attention to any signs of suspension wear, as these cars are often driven spiritedly.
Check the current condition of the tyres specifically; the 2025 MOT noted multiple issues with uneven wear and legal limits, which could indicate a need for a wheel alignment. Verify that the brake hoses mentioned in the 2023 and 2025 tests have actually been replaced, rather than just monitored.
The 2000cc engine is relatively efficient for a sports car, though you should expect around 30-35 MPG depending on your driving. Insurance groups can vary significantly based on your profile, but the BRZ typically sits in a mid-range bracket.
Maintenance costs are standard for a Japanese import, though specialist parts can occasionally be more expensive than a standard economy car. Expect an annual outlay of roughly £900-£1,200 including fuel and tax.
Focus on the lower suspension and steering components. The 2024 MOT flagged a nearside rear rear most diff bush, so check for any remaining play or cracks in the rubber bushings to ensure they were replaced properly. Inspect the front brake hoses thoroughly, as the history shows a recurring issue of deterioration/damage between 2023 and 2025.
Check for uneven tyre wear across all axles. The 2025 MOT recorded three tyres worn on the edges, which is a classic sign of poor alignment or aggressive cornering that could lead to premature costs if not addressed.
This 2012 Subaru BRZ presents an attractive proposition, having covered just 68,792 miles over 14 years, which is significantly below the average. The MOT history shows a consistent record of care, with only minor advisories regarding tyres and brake wear noted rather than mechanical failures. The blue paintwork combined with the 2.0L petrol engine suggests a car that has likely been enjoyed and looked after by previous owners.
The Subaru BRZ is generally regarded as a robust sports car, provided the Boxer engine is kept topped up with regular oil changes.
