2012 Subaru BRZ 2.0L Petrol · AX62 TWM

The 2012 Subaru BRZ has a concerning recent MOT history, with a major failure in October 2025 due to a fractured front coil spring. This is a serious structural issue that affects handling and safety. The same MOT also noted thin rear brake pads and a flickering front light. The pattern shows a worsening trend. A similar fault was found in 2025 just days before the test, with a fractured coil spring. This suggests the vehicle has had ongoing suspension issues that were not properly addressed. The brake pads were already wearing thin in the previous pass, and the lighting problems have persisted through multiple tests. With 69,471 miles on a 14-year-old car, the mileage is unusually low. This likely indicates periods of long-term storage or very light use rather than consistent driving. Low mileage can mask wear on components like brake pads, tyres, and suspension, but it does not prevent deterioration from age or environmental factors.
