Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2009 model year cars.
- Steering Rack LeaksModerate
Hydraulic steering racks on Mk3 Imprezas can leak from the seals, eventually causing heavy steering and pump noise.
- Rear Arch and Underbody CorrosionModerate
Rust commonly starts around the rear arches, sill ends and suspension mounting areas, especially on cars that have lived through many salty UK winters.
- Boxer Diesel Crankshaft FailureSerious
Diesel Mk3 Imprezas inherit the same EE20 bottom-end risk seen elsewhere in the Subaru range, making them one of the least forgiving versions to buy blind.
