2007 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI TYPE-UK2.5L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance standards in recent years. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2024 at 109,300 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural issues previously identified were addressed. This suggests the current ownership phase is proactive regarding repairs compared to the period seen in the early part of the record. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nineteen-year-old performance vehicle, averaging approximately 5,750 miles per year. There is a significant six-year gap between the 2014 and 2020 MOT tests, during which the car covered only 2,270 miles. While this low usage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, such long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluids. The lack of recorded mileage accumulation between 2020 and 2024 suggests the car may have sat stationary for extended periods during those intervals. A physical inspection must focus on the braking system and suspension geometry, given the history of recurring faults. The 2013 test flagged corrosion across all four brake pipe runs, and the 2014 failure identified a deteriorated nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint cover. A buyer should verify that these brake lines have been treated or replaced and that the suspension joints are free of play or tearing. Additionally, the reports of inner tyre edge wear in 2014 indicate an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be re-checked to ensure they are not currently causing uneven tyre wear.
