1997 Subaru Impreza 2.0L Petrol · K24 WRX

The most recent MOT from April 2024 shows a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to at least 2018, indicating that the vehicle's condition has remained very stable over the last several years. The mileage of 130,065 is notably low for a 29-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,485 miles per year. While this suggests the car has not endured heavy annual usage, such low mileage can also be an ambiguous signal, as it may imply the vehicle has spent extended periods of time stationary. Because the MOT history is entirely free of recorded defects, there is no evidence of a worsening mechanical trend. The main risk factor is not high-mileage wear, but rather the potential effects of age and infrequent use on various components. When inspecting the car in person, you should focus on the condition of rubber seals, hoses, and suspension bushings to check for age-related perishing. You should also look for any signs of fluid leaks or components that may have been affected by long periods of standing.
