2017 Subaru Impreza 1.6L Petrol · AP66 MYM

The 2026‑02‑10 MOT at 64,487 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy at the time of testing. Earlier, a failure on 2024‑05‑31 at the same mileage was remedied and passed on 2024‑06‑01, showing that corrective work was performed and the trend remains stable. The recorded mileage has risen from 35,385 miles in the January 2020 test to 64,487 miles in the February 2026 test, an increase of 29,102 miles over 6.1 years, averaging about 4,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a nine‑year‑old Impreza. The interval from 2024‑05‑31 to 2024‑06‑01 shows only a nine‑mile change, reflecting a rapid repair and retest, while the jump from 2025‑01‑15 to 2026‑02‑10 adds 4,693 miles in 13 months, suggesting a period of more intensive use. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, test the rear brake calipers for binding, inspect the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and verify tyre condition, especially the off‑side rear tyre that showed separation in the 2024 failure. Inspect the wheel arches, chassis rails and suspension mounting points for any signs of structural rust or previous repair, and confirm that the tyre separation was addressed with appropriate component replacement. The maintenance history shows no recurring major faults beyond the single tyre incident, and the recent clean MOT suggests that previous remedial actions were effective; nevertheless, a thorough in‑person inspection of the items listed above is essential before purchase.
