2017 Subaru Impreza 1.6L Petrol · BF67 NNV

The most recent MOT, dated 23 December 2025, was a clean pass with no recorded defects at 42,813 mi. This shows the car was road‑worthy at the time of the test and that any outstanding issues from earlier tests have apparently been remedied. The MOT record reveals a clear pattern of rear‑tyre and brake wear. In January 2023 the test flagged both rear tyres as “slightly damaged/cracking or perishing” and highlighted front and rear brake discs and pads as worn, though not yet unsafe. A year later, in December 2024, the off‑side rear tyre failed outright because a cut had reached the ply or cords – a serious safety defect that would have required tyre replacement. The subsequent December 2025 pass, with the same mileage as the 2024 pass, suggests that the faulty tyre was replaced and that the vehicle now meets the minimum tyre standards. Aside from the tyre issue, there have been no further recorded defects. The brake wear noted in 2023 was not mentioned again, implying that the discs and pads were likely serviced or replaced before the 2024 test. Overall the trend appears to be stabilising rather than deteriorating: the most serious defect was addressed, and the last two MOTs show no new problems. At roughly 4,750 mi per year, the 2017 Impreza has low mileage for its age.
