Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- Valve Spring RecallSerious
Early models were subject to a major recall for valve springs that could fail, potentially leading to engine destruction.
- Clutch Slave Cylinder Leak (Manual Models)Moderate
The concentric slave cylinder (CSC) on manual BRZs can develop leaks over time, leading to a soft or spongy clutch pedal and eventually difficulty engaging gears. This is an increasingly common complaint as first-gen cars age, and fixing it requires gearbox removal.
