Our Verdict
This 2007 Subaru Impreza presents a surprisingly strong MOT history with four consecutive clear passes recorded between 2022 and 2025. It represents an interesting option for enthusiasts, provided the service history matches the clean test record.
When inspecting this 2457.0cc petrol Impreza, verify the physical paperwork to see if the clean MOT test results are backed up by a comprehensive service record, as test passes only indicate compliance at the point of inspection. Given that common failure points for this model include headlamps, exhaust systems, and corrosion, you should thoroughly check the underside and exhaust components for rust or degradation. Negotiate based on any upcoming service requirements or consumable replacements due for a vehicle of this age.
Operating a 2.45-litre petrol Subaru Impreza involves higher-than-average fuel consumption, particularly given the larger engine displacement. Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax) for a 2007 registered car of this engine size will sit in one of the higher VED bands, and insurance groups for Impreza models tend to be elevated due to their performance profile. Maintenance costs should factor in specialist servicing for the boxer engine configuration.
Estimated annual running costs, encompassing fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, are estimated around £2,200-£2,600 depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Pay close attention to areas identified as common weaknesses across the model range, specifically checking the headlamps for cloudiness or alignment issues, inspecting the exhaust system for signs of blowing or corrosion, and examining the chassis, sills, and suspension mountings for rust. Although the 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests were recorded with zero advisories, a physical inspection underneath the grey bodywork is essential to ensure no hidden structural corrosion has developed. Verify that all electrical features and engine components operate smoothly.
First registered in October 2007 and finished in grey, this Subaru Impreza is powered by a substantial 2457.0cc petrol engine. The vehicle has covered 90,862 miles as of its October 2025 MOT test, showing a consistent mileage accumulation over recent years. Notably, the recorded MOT tests from 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 all resulted in passes with zero defects or advisories recorded. This performance stands in contrast to the model's aggregate statistics, which show an average pass rate of 80.5%.
Across 26,079 analysed vehicles, the model achieves an average MOT pass rate of 80.5%, with headlamps, exhausts, and corrosion cited as the top failure reasons.
