MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

8 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 Subaru Impreza Wrx (L523 CTY) between July 2006 and July 2010.

The record contains 5 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 21 July 2010 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (7 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
