Our Verdict
This 1906 Subaru Impreza presents a mixed picture with a clean recent MOT test contrasted against very high recorded mileage relative to model averages. Buyers should approach with standard due diligence, paying close attention to rust, headlamp condition, and the exhaust system.
When inspecting this Impreza, ask the seller to provide a comprehensive paper trail or digital log of past maintenance, as the MOT record alone only captures minimum legal standards at the time of testing. Given the 2.0L petrol engine and the model's age, ensure you verify the condition of high-wear items such as the clutch, suspension bushes, and brakes during a test drive.
Negotiate on price if there are gaps in the service history or if any cosmetic wear on the black paintwork requires attention. Verify that all electrical features inside the cabin function correctly and check for any signs of oil or coolant leaks under the bonnet.
Running a 2.0-litre petrol Subaru Impreza will involve typical fuel consumption costs associated with a mid-sized performance-oriented engine, which generally sits below the efficiency of modern economy hatchbacks. Insurance groupings for the Impreza tend to be on the higher side due to the model's performance heritage, so obtain quotes before committing to purchase.
Road tax rates will depend on the exact registration bracket, while maintenance costs should factor in common model weak points such as the exhaust and headlamps. Budget realistically for periodic upkeep to keep the vehicle running safely throughout the year.
Pay close attention to model-specific weak points highlighted by national MOT data for the Impreza range, specifically headlamps, exhaust components, and corrosion. Check the chassis, wheel arches, and sills thoroughly for rust, as corrosion is a frequent failure point for vehicles of this type.
Inspect the headlamps for cloudiness or internal moisture which can trigger an MOT failure, and examine the entire exhaust system from the manifold back for blowing, corrosion, or failing hangers. Given the 101,773-mile reading, also inspect the condition of rubber CV boots, brake lines, and suspension components for wear and tear.
The vehicle is a 2.0-litre petrol model finished in black, with a recorded mileage of 101,773 miles as of January 2024. This significantly exceeds the model aggregate average annual mileage of 3,716 miles, indicating heavy historic usage. Its latest MOT test in January 2024 resulted in a pass with zero defects recorded, showing it met legal roadworthiness standards at that specific point in time.
The Subaru Impreza achieves an average MOT pass rate of 80.5% across the UK fleet, though common failure points include headlamps, exhaust systems, and corrosion.
