2012 Subaru Impreza 2.5L Petrol · FJ62 HFZ

This 2012 Subaru Impreza presents a very clean MOT history, showing three consecutive passes without a single recorded defect or advisory notice dating back to late 2022. The most recent inspection in February 2026 confirms the vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with no immediate safety concerns flagged by testers. The vehicle has covered roughly 72,288 miles over its 14-year lifespan, averaging approximately 5,163 miles per year. This is a notably low annual mileage, which can be a double-edged sword for a buyer. While it suggests the car has not been subjected to the heavy wear and tear associated with high-mileage motorway commuting, such low usage can sometimes indicate the vehicle has spent long periods sitting idle. Extended periods of inactivity can lead to issues like seized brake components, perished rubber seals, or stale fluids that do not always manifest during a standard MOT inspection. The trend of this vehicle's condition appears to be stable and excellent, as evidenced by the lack of any recurring mechanical issues or advisories over the past three and a half years. The consistent pass rate suggests the car has been well-maintained or at least lightly used in a way that has not compromised its core safety systems. Because the MOT history is exceptionally clean, the primary risk is not a pattern of neglect, but rather the potential for age-related degradation that an MOT test is not designed to catch. Since the car has been driven very little recently—covering only about 259 miles between March 2025 and February 2026—you should be mindful of components that age based on time rather than distance.
