Our Verdict
This 2007 Subaru Impreza presents a surprisingly clean recent MOT history with five consecutive pass records and zero recorded defects. It represents an interesting proposition for buyers seeking a petrol-powered all-wheel-drive hatchback, provided its running costs and comprehensive service history are carefully considered.
When inspecting this 2007 Impreza, verify the physical service record independently, as MOT passes only confirm roadworthiness at the time of testing and do not prove previous maintenance quality. Given the model's aggregate vulnerability to corrosion and exhaust issues, examine the underbody, sills, and exhaust system thoroughly on a ramp. Negotiate on the completeness of the history file, and confirm whether major timing belt replacement intervals have been observed for the 1994.0cc petrol engine.
Equipped with a 1994.0cc petrol engine, fuel economy will be on the heavier side, particularly given the permanent all-wheel-drive system typical of this model line. Road tax will fall into the higher brackets associated with older, larger-displacement petrol vehicles registered before March 2006 (or corresponding emissions bands). Insurance groups for Imprezas tend to be elevated, reflecting performance orientation and repair costs.
Typical maintenance requires budgeting for periodic servicing, potential exhaust upkeep, and tyre replacement across all four corners. The estimated annual running cost is around £1,800-£2,200, factoring in fuel, tax, insurance, and routine wear-and-tear items based on an average British motoring profile.
Pay close attention to common model weak points such as corrosion, exhaust condition, and headlamp operation, which rank as top MOT failure reasons across the 26,079 analysed vehicles in the dataset. Although this vehicle recorded no defects between 2022 and 2026, a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components is essential to catch early signs of rust.
Check all electrical systems, including the headlamps and dashboard warning lights, and listen closely to the boxer engine for any unusual valvetrain noises or fluid leaks. Verify that the tyres show even wear patterns and have adequate tread depth well above the legal limit.
First registered in June 2007 and finished in black, this 1994.0cc petrol Subaru Impreza has covered 106,556 miles as of its April 2026 MOT test. Its MOT tracking shows a remarkably pristine record from 2022 through 2026, with successive passes and no advisory notices logged during this period. While aggregate model data shows common fail points relating to headlamps, exhausts, and corrosion, this specific vehicle has avoided these issues in its recent testing history.
Across 26,079 analysed vehicles, the model achieves an 80.5% average MOT pass rate, with headlamps, exhausts, and corrosion forming the most frequent failure categories.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2007 model year cars.
- Rear Strut Tower, Sill and Arch CorrosionSerious
Mk2 shells can rot badly around the rear strut tops, sills and rear arches, sometimes hiding serious structural decay behind trim and underseal.
- Radiator End Tank CrackingModerate
Ageing factory radiators can split around the plastic end tanks, causing coolant loss that is easy to miss until the car gets hot in traffic.
- Wheel Bearing WearModerate
Rear wheel bearings in particular can get noisy as the cars age, bringing a droning noise that is often mistaken for tyre roar.
