Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a 2.0L Subaru Impreza, provided the recent mileage increase is accounted for. The clean MOT history over the last three years is a positive indicator for a buyer.
When inspecting this specific 2.0L Impreza, focus on the mechanical consistency of the petrol engine. Given the vehicle has covered over 125,000 miles, you should verify if major service intervals, such as timing belt changes, have been addressed, as these are critical for this model's longevity.
Negotiate based on the mileage, which is significantly higher than the aggregate annual average for this model. Ask for evidence of any work carried out following the MOT failure in November 2024, even though no specific defect was listed in the digital record provided.
Running costs for this 1994cc petrol Impreza will be higher than a standard hatchback. You should budget for mid-to-high insurance groups and moderate fuel consumption typical of a Subaru drivetrain.
Maintenance costs can vary, but you should be aware that common failure points for this model across the wider fleet include headlamps, exhaust systems, and corrosion. An estimated annual running cost of £1,200-£1,500 should be considered to cover fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Inspect the exterior closely for signs of corrosion, as this is a top failure reason for the Impreza model according to aggregate data. Check the condition of the headlamps to ensure they are clear and functioning correctly, as headlamp issues are a frequent MOT failure point for this vehicle type.
Underneath the car, look for exhaust wear or damage. Given the 125,649 miles recorded, also check the condition of suspension components and bushings, which are common wear items at this mileage level.
This 2010 gold Subaru Impreza has covered 125,649 miles since its first registration in March 2010. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 3,716 miles per year, the MOT history shows a consistent pass record. The vehicle has passed its most recent tests without recorded defects, following a brief failure in late 2024.
Aggregate data for the Subaru Impreza shows an 80.5% average MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to headlamps, exhausts, and corrosion.
