SUBARU IMPREZA1998 · 2.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT for this 1998 Subaru Impreza was conducted on 2009-11-28, over 17 years ago, with a recorded mileage of 122,438 miles. Since then, no further MOT entries are documented, leaving a significant gap in the vehicle’s inspection history. This absence of recent data raises concerns about potential unaddressed issues, as the car has not been assessed for roadworthiness in over a decade. The available MOT history shows mostly clean results, with no defects recorded in 2008, 2006, and 2006. However, a minor brake disc issue was noted in 2009 (front disc worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened), and a light oil mist on the offside rear shock absorber in 2007. These were classified as non-urgent defects, but their presence suggests gradual wear in critical components. No subsequent repairs or rechecks are documented, leaving the status of these issues unclear. The vehicle’s mileage of 122,438 miles is low for its age (28 years), averaging around 4,373 miles annually. This could indicate light use or prolonged periods of inactivity, both of which carry risks. Low mileage may mask wear in systems prone to degradation when stationary, such as seals, gaskets, and fluids.
