Known faults for Subaru Subaru Impreza Mk5 (GT/GK)
Our database tracks 5 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Excellent

Our Verdict
A highly attractive prospect for a buyer seeking a low-mileage, well-maintained Subaru. The exceptionally low mileage and clean MOT history make this a standout example of the 2017 Impreza.
Given the very low mileage, your primary focus should be on the service history. Cars that cover low annual distances can sometimes suffer from 'short trip syndrome,' where the engine doesn't always reach optimal operating temperatures. Ensure the oil has been changed at regular intervals regardless of the distance driven.
When inspecting, check the condition of the rubber components and tyres. While the 2022 and 2023 MOTs flagged perishing sidewalls, these should have been addressed by now. Verify that the current tyres are relatively fresh and not showing signs of age-related cracking, as this was a recurring advisory in the vehicle's past.
As a 1.6L petrol model, this Impreza is positioned as the more economical choice within the Impreza range. You can expect reasonable fuel economy for a petrol engine of this size, though Subaru's all-wheel-drive system will naturally consume more than a standard front-wheel-drive hatchback.
Insurance groups for the 1.6L variant are typically moderate, and tax bands are predictable. Maintenance costs should be standard for a Japanese hatchback, though you should budget for the periodic replacement of AWD-specific components and ensure high-quality tyres are used to maintain traction and performance.
Start by inspecting the tyres. The MOT history shows a pattern of advisory notices for cracking and perishing sidewalls on both the nearside and offside front tyres in 2022 and 2023. Ensure the current set is compliant and free from age-related degradation.
Secondly, check the service records for evidence of regular oil changes. Because the vehicle has covered very little mileage (averaging roughly 2,500 miles per year), it is vital to confirm that the manufacturer's time-based service intervals were followed, not just the mileage intervals. Finally, check the brake discs and pads, as low-use vehicles can sometimes see uneven wear or surface corrosion.
This 2017 Subaru Impreza in Grey has covered just 22,627 miles in nearly nine years, which is significantly lower than the UK average for its age. The MOT history is remarkably clean, showing no actual failures, only minor advisories regarding tyre condition in its earlier years. It represents a well-preserved example of the 1.6L petrol variant, likely used for short, infrequent journeys.
While aggregate data is unavailable for this specific model, Subaru generally maintains a strong reputation for mechanical longevity and drivetrain reliability.

- Suspension Knocking (Top Mounts, Bushes, Drop Links)Moderate
A long-running owner complaint on Impreza forums is a knock or clunk from the front end on bumps or when turning lock to lock, usually traced to worn strut top mounts, anti-roll bar drop links or wishbone bushes. Suspension is a leading MOT failure category on this model.
- Ignition Coil / ECM Engine-Stall RecallModerate
Certain 2016-2019 Imprezas were subject to an official UK recall for a possible engine stall with failure to restart, traced to the ignition coils and engine-control-module software. The remedy is a free ECM reprogramme and ignition-coil replacement where needed; not every affected car has had the work done, so the VIN should be checked on the GOV.UK recall register.
- Exhaust System Corrosion and LeaksModerate
The Impreza's exhaust can corrode under UK winter salt, causing blowing or rattling noises and an MOT failure on exhaust, emissions and leaks. This failure area is well represented in the Impreza's MOT record, especially on higher-mileage cars.
