Known faults for Subaru Subaru BRZ
Our database tracks 4 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Excellent

Our Verdict
Recommended with caution due to minor MOT issues but generally well-maintained. Verify tyre and brake condition before purchase.
Prioritize checking the tyre condition and replacement history, as four tyres showed perishing in 2024. Inspect the front brake disc for signs of wear or replacement. Verify service history for regular maintenance, particularly suspension and braking components. Negotiate based on the 2023 brake disc failure and tyre-related MOT notes. Be cautious of potential hidden costs from high-performance parts.
The 1.998L petrol engine offers moderate fuel economy, though exact figures depend on driving habits. As a 2017 model, it likely falls in a mid-range insurance group. Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the BRZ's sporty design, with brake and tyre replacements being recurring expenses. Estimated annual running costs: £1,000-£1,200 including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance.
Focus on tyre tread depth and condition, as four tyres showed perishing in 2024. Check the front brake disc for wear or replacement, as it was flagged in 2023. Inspect suspension components for signs of stress from the BRZ's performance-oriented design. Verify that all MOT failures were properly addressed and document any service records for key systems.
This 2017 Subaru BRZ has a mostly clean MOT history with recent passes, though tyre degradation and a brake disc issue were noted. Mileage of 40,629 miles is reasonable for its age, but the lack of aggregate reliability data means buyers should scrutinize service records. The silver colour and 1.998L petrol engine align with typical BRZ specifications.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Subaru BRZ model, making it difficult to assess broader reliability trends.
