2014 Subaru WRX 2.5L Petrol · AK64 LBP

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in January 2023 at 89,090 miles passed despite the tester flagging front tyres worn close to the legal limit with uneven wear on both sides. This indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension components that went unaddressed following the advisory. Since the last MOT was over three years ago, the vehicle is currently significantly overdue for its test, necessitating an immediate inspection to determine the current state of its mechanical integrity. The mileage history of 89,090 miles over a twelve2-year period averages to approximately 7,400 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical domestic use. There is a notable gap in records between July 2019 and January 2021, where the car covered over 21,000 miles in eighteen months. The failure in January 2021 at 58,346 miles highlighted specific issues with the rear fog lamp circuitry and pitted front brake discs. While the vehicle passed the subsequent tests in 2022 and 2023 without defects, the appearance of tyre wear in the latest record suggests that the drivetrain and suspension components are beginning to show signs of age and use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry and bushings to explain the uneven tyre wear recorded in early 2023. The previous failure regarding scored brake discs suggests that the braking system may be prone to corrosion or neglect during periods of standing. Given the age of the Subaru and the elapsed time since the last MOT, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system is also essential, as the records do not provide data on the condition of these critical underbody components.
