2016 Subaru WRX 2.5L Petrol · CF66 HFH

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 35,191 miles passed with advisories for both rear tyres being near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This mirrors a multi-year trend where components are only addressed once they reach the point of inspection failure, rather than being replaced during scheduled intervals. At 35,191 miles over ten years, this Subaru has clocked significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per annum. The mileage gaps between tests are consistent, with roughly 3,500 miles covered between the October 2024 and September 2025 tests. While this low usage generally suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain, it also exposes the vehicle to age-related degradation, which is evidenced here by the recurring reports of pitting and scoring on the brake hardware noted between 2021 and 2023. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. From 2021 through 2023, the tester repeatedly flagged front and rear brake discs as pitted or scored, alongside thinning pads, which suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods, allowing surface corrosion to develop on the metal surfaces. Furthermore, the persistent "worn on edge" advisories across all tyres in 2022, 2024, and 2025 indicates a likely alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. You should verify that the uneven wear has been rectified and that low mileage has not masked neglect of rubber components or fluid degradation.
