2015 Subaru WRX 2.5L Petrol · DC65 AFN

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of deferred attention regarding basic wear items. The most recent test in September 2025 at 63,469 miles passed, yet it carried multiple advisories for worn nearside rear tyres and pitted brake discs. While the car passes its inspections, the recurring nature of brake corrosion and tyre issues suggests that the owner only addresses these components when they approach a failure threshold rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,770 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between December 2021 and August 2023, where the car covered only 357 miles in nearly twenty months. Since that period, usage has increased slightly, covering roughly 2,300 miles over the last two years. This low-mileage pattern often leads to accelerated corrosion on metal surfaces and drying of rubber seals, which aligns with the persistent pitting on brake discs noted throughout the MOT history. A buyer must physically inspect the braking system thoroughly, as the records consistently flag pitting and scoring on the discs across 2021, 2023, and 2025. The repeated mentions of uneven wear on the inner edges of tyres indicate a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require a professional diagnosis. Furthermore, the failure in December 2021 for insufficient tread depth on multiple tyres suggests the current set may be aged or require immediate replacement. Given the low annual mileage, check the chassis for surface rust that often develops when vehicles sit stationary for long periods.
