SUBARU WRX STI-TP UK SYM-CAL AWD2013 · 2.5L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 3 June 2026 at 28,556 miles which returned no defects. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, although the history shows a pattern of minor cosmetic neglect rather than mechanical failure. While the latest test indicates a clean state of affairs, previous records highlight a consistent issue of minor external damage that persisted over several years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,200 miles per year. Between March 2021 and June 2026, the car covered only 7,905 miles, suggesting infrequent use or long periods of stationary storage. This low mileage often reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it introduces specific risks related to rubber-based components degrading. The March 2024 test at 27,935 miles specifically flagged cracking tyres, which is a common symptom of age-related dry-rot rather than tread wear. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the exterior mirror assemblies, as the offside mirror was noted as damaged in every test from 2021 through 2024, with the nearside mirror also reported loose in 2022. Given the low usage and age of the vehicle, it is vital to inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking and check the brake system for seized calipers or pitted discs caused by lack of use. Furthermore, the chassis and suspension components should be examined for surface corrosion, as low-mileage cars often suffer from moisture retention during long periods.
