2016 Subaru WRX 2.5L Petrol · AP16 HKB

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with eight consecutive MOT tests showing almost no mechanical or structural defects. This stability is evidenced by the clean pass achieved on 2026-06-02, following a long-term trend of zero failures and only a single minor advisory for a small windscreen chip recorded in 2022. The recorded mileage of 25,930 miles is significantly low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 2,593 miles per year. Such a low accumulation rate indicates the vehicle has experienced limited road use over the last decade. Mechanically, this suggests that components typically subject to high-mileage wear, such as suspension bushings and drivetrain linkages, have undergone minimal operational stress. Inspection should begin with the windscreen to determine if the chip noted in 2022 was repaired or if it remains a point of potential propagation. Given the absence of any recorded corrosion, brake defects, or suspension failures across nearly a decade of testing, the physical inspection should focus on verifying that the chassis and underbody condition matches this clean administrative record. During a test drive, focus on detecting any irregularities that may not be apparent during a standard MOT. Listen for any knocks or clicks from the suspension over uneven surfaces and feel for any pedal judder or steering pull during braking to ensure the braking system is operating smoothly. Any unusual vibrations through the drivetrain during acceleration should be noted to ensure the mechanical condition aligns with the low recorded mileage.
