2018 Subaru WRX 2.5L Petrol · D3 ORA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a pass in the September 2025 test at 18,745 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend is currently improving following a period of concern in late 2024. While the previous test identified several mechanical issues, the lack of advisories in the most recent record suggests the owner addressed the flagged faults before the last inspection cycle. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,343 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, moving from 6,527 miles in September 2021 to 18,745 miles by late 2025. This low mileage suggests the car has seen minimal road exposure, but it also increases the likelihood of rubber-based components and brake hardware suffering from long periods of standing rather than mechanical wear from use. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and exhaust system. During the September 2024 test at 16,981 miles, the tester flagged corroded front coil springs and a noisy exhaust, alongside thin front brake pads. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent test, corrosion on coil springs is a progressive structural issue that can lead to sudden failure if left unaddressed. The buyer should verify that the springs have been replaced or secured and that the exhaust system is free of leaks or structural fatigue.
