2002 Subaru Impreza 2.0L Petrol · CV02 SDO

The 2002 Subaru Impreza presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The June 2025 test at 48,729 miles passed clean, continuing an unbroken pass sequence stretching back to July 2021. The maintenance trend is steady and shows no worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories. Recorded mileage sits at 48,729 against a 24-year-old chassis, equating to roughly 2,030 miles per year. The car covered only 36 miles between June 2024 and June 2025, and just 458 miles across the 2023 to 2024 interval. Such low annual use implies long standing periods rather than steady driving. The DVSA data shows no gaps in testing and no failures, though the sparse clean record gives limited insight into wear on consumables and hidden corrosion. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe structural integrity, as low-mileage cars left idle often develop unseen rust while rubber components perish from age rather than use. Brake discs and calipers warrant physical checks for binding or pitting after prolonged storage. Given the clean history, previous owners appear to have kept the vehicle lightly used and presented it for timely annual tests. The absence of advisories does not negate the need for a workshop ramp examination of underside corrosion and drivetrain condition before purchase.
