2012 Subaru Impreza 2.5L Petrol · BL61 GHA

The most recent MOT on 2025-05-30 recorded two minor issues: a rear inner brake disc that was worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened, and a cut on the offside rear tyre that did not reach the ply or cords. Both were classified as advisory rather than critical failures. The vehicle passed with no major defects. Previous MOTs show a pattern of gradually increasing wear on brake components. In 2024-06-17, thin rear brake pads were noted, and no other defects were recorded in the three years prior (2022-2021). The 2023 and 2022 MOTs had no recorded issues, suggesting the vehicle was in good condition until 2024. The 2025 findings indicate a slow progression of brake wear, but none of the issues were severe enough to compromise safety. The trend in defects appears stable, with no recurring or escalating problems. The low mileage of 15,187 miles over 14 years (about 1,085 miles per year) suggests the vehicle has seen minimal use. This could mean the car has been parked for extended periods, potentially leading to issues like brake rotor corrosion or tyre flat-spotting.
