2002 Subaru Impreza 2.0L Petrol · BW52 XCF

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance record over the last four years. The most recent test in July 2025 at 121,168 miles returned a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This trend of defect-free inspections suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and that the mechanical and structural components remain within acceptable parameters according to DVSA testing criteria. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 24-year-old Subaru, averaging approximately 5,000 miles annually. Between October 2022 at 112,141 miles and July 2025 at 121,168 miles, the car covered only 9,027 miles. While this low usage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. The consistent accumulation of mileage indicates a regular use pattern rather than long periods of neglect. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity common to this Impreza generation. A buyer should inspect the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the sills, wheel arches, and suspension mounting points, as rust often develops regardless of mileage. Given the low annual usage, also check the condition of the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or perished, as these parts age through time rather than distance. Examining the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers is also advisable, as infrequently driven vehicles can suffer from surface corrosion on the braking system.
