2016 Subaru WRX STI 2.5L Petrol · AD65 WHH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on March 9, 2026, but the record reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While the car failed the test just four miles prior at 95,753 miles due to a horn failure and a tyre pressure monitoring system fault, several mechanical issues persisted into the pass. The presence of an oil leak, power steering seepage, and a low brake hydraulic reservoir suggests that fluid-related maintenance is not being addressed ahead of the inspection cycle. At 95,757 miles, the Subaru WRX STI has covered an average of approximately 9,576 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a ten-year-old vehicle. This consistent mileage suggests the car has not been subjected to extreme annual distances or long periods of stationary storage. The short interval between the failure and the pass in March 2026 indicates the owner is willing to rectify immediate failures quickly, though the underlying mechanical leaks require closer technical scrutiny. A physical inspection must focus on the reported fluid leaks to determine their severity and source. The low brake hydraulic reservoir level is particularly concerning as it may indicate a leak in the master cylinder, pipes, or brake calipers, which poses a safety risk if levels drop further. The buyer should also inspect the power steering hoses for further degradation and check the engine bay for the noted oil leak. Additionally, the buyer must verify the tyre pressure monitoring system is now functional, as this was a primary reason for the initial failure of test.
