2017 Subaru Impreza 1.6L Petrol · BL67 KAJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history, though recent documentation indicates a trend of age-related consumable degradation. The most recent test on 2 December 2025 at 34,698 miles resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged both front tyres for slight perishing or cracking. This follows a clean pass in December 2024 at 31,008 miles, suggesting that while mechanical systems appear well-maintained, the rubber components are beginning to show signs of environmental aging. The mileage pattern confirms this is a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 3,855 miles per year over its nine-year lifespan. The records show consistent, incremental mileage increases between annual tests, moving from 24,167 miles in late 2022 to 34,698 miles in late 2025. This low annual usage often implies lighter mechanical strain on the drivetrain and suspension, but the data also highlights the risks associated with infrequent driving, specifically regarding tyre sidewall integrity. A prospective buyer should focus physical inspections on the condition of all four tyres. The record shows a recurring pattern of tyre issues, including a failure in November 2022 due to a deep cut in the offside front tyre and edge wear on the nearside front. The recent advisory regarding perishing on both front tyres suggests the rubber is hardening, likely due to the vehicle sitting for extended periods. Beyond the tyres, the clean passes in 2023 and 2024 indicate no recorded issues with braking systems, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, but the low mileage warrants a close look at any potential fluid leaks or seized components that can arise from underuse.
