2009 Subaru Justy 1.0L Petrol · FE09 VFX

The Subaru Justy presents a stable and reassuring mechanical profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 03 March 2023 at 104,649 miles, returned a completely clean pass with zero defects recorded. This outcome, combined with the preceding clean tests in 2021 and 2020, indicates a resolving maintenance trend. The only advisory in the past five years occurred in March 2022, when the tester flagged an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge. That specific issue appears to have been addressed, as no further tyre defects or suspension-related advisories appeared in the subsequent 2023 test. The mileage pattern is consistent and unremarkable for a vehicle of this age. Between February 2019 and March 2023, the odometer advanced from 75,517 to 104,649 miles, averaging roughly 6,156 miles per year. That figure sits squarely within typical annual usage for a small city car. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest long periods of disuse or odometer tampering. The MOT record itself is sparse in the best possible sense, with only a single minor advisory across five consecutive annual tests. A buyer should still conduct a focused in-person inspection despite the clean paperwork. The 2022 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear on the offside front warrants close scrutiny of the suspension geometry. Request a check of the front suspension bushes, tracking alignment, and coil spring condition, as misalignment often causes the type of edge wear noted by the tester. Examine the brake discs and pads for even wear patterns, and verify that no binding is present on any caliper. Given the vehicle's age, inspect the underside thoroughly for corrosion to the exhaust system, sills, and structural mounting points, as Subaru Justys of this era can be vulnerable to rust in salted road conditions. Confirm the current tyre condition and remaining tread depth across all four corners before committing to purchase.
