Our Verdict
This 2007 Subaru Impreza presents a surprisingly clean recent MOT history with four consecutive passes and no recorded defects or advisories. While the high 2,457cc petrol engine demands careful financial consideration regarding fuel and tax, the vehicle shows steady, well-documented mileage progression through its recent tests.
When viewing this 2007 Impreza, examine the yellow bodywork closely for signs of age-related corrosion, particularly around the arches, sills, and subframes, as corrosion is a leading MOT failure reason for this model line. Check the physical paperwork or digital logs to verify the service history behind the 136,088-mile odometer reading, ensuring the timing belt and fluids have been replaced according to schedule. Given the 2.457cc high-performance engine specification, inspect the exhaust system thoroughly for any blowing or structural degradation, which is another common weakness noted in aggregate data.
Running a 2,457cc petrol Subaru Impreza will involve significant fuel consumption, particularly during urban driving, alongside higher vehicle excise duty brackets for a 2007 vehicle. Insurance groups for this engine variant sit near the upper end of the scale, making it essential to obtain competitive quotes before purchase. Routine maintenance should also account for specialist boxer engine servicing costs and potential component wear.
Estimated annual running costs for this vehicle range between £2,200 and £2,600, heavily dependent on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Pay close attention to the headlamps, as lighting components are among the most common MOT failure points for this model. Inspect all exterior light units for clouding, moisture ingress, or alignment issues that could lead to a test failure.
Secondly, inspect the underside for structural corrosion on the chassis, suspension mounts, and brake lines. Although the MOT tests from 2022 to 2025 recorded zero defects, older performance Subarus are susceptible to rust accumulation that requires proactive treatment.
First registered in October 2007, this striking yellow Subaru Impreza features a 2,457cc petrol engine and has recorded 136,088 miles by its September 2025 MOT test. Its recent MOT history is notably clear, showing passes in 2022, 2024, and 2025 with zero defects noted during these examinations. However, prospective buyers should balance this clean recent test record against the model's wider failure tendencies, which frequently involve headlamps, exhausts, and corrosion.
Across 26,079 evaluated Subaru Impreza vehicles, the average MOT pass rate stands at 80.5%, with common failure categories involving headlamps, exhausts, and corrosion.
