2013 Subaru Impreza 2.5L Petrol · DC13 MWX

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in February 2026, though this followed a failure just two days earlier. The failure was serious, with both front inner tyres having ply or cords exposed, which represents a critical safety risk. Aside from the recent tyre issue and a minor registration lamp fault in 2023, the MOT history has been remarkably clean. However, the sudden appearance of severe inner tyre wear suggests a potential decline in maintenance or a developing mechanical issue. This specific pattern of wear often points to poor wheel alignment or worn suspension components rather than simple tread depletion. At 147,474 miles over 13 years, the mileage is typical for the age of the car. You should expect normal wear and tear on the drivetrain, brakes, and suspension consumables, but there is no evidence here of extreme over-use or periods of prolonged inactivity. The overall condition trend is generally stable but is currently flagged by the recent tyre failure. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the current tyre tread depth and wheel alignment. Check for uneven wear across all four tyres and inspect the front suspension bushings and joints to ensure the underlying cause of the inner tyre wear has been properly rectified.
