2005 Subaru Impreza 2.5L Petrol · FT05 VPL

This 2005 Subaru Impreza has an MOT history that is remarkably clean. All five recorded tests from 2022 to 2026 show passes with zero defects or advisories. That is unusual for a vehicle of this age and is genuinely encouraging on paper. Looking at the mileage progression, the car covered only about 812 miles between April 2022 and May 2023, and roughly 698 miles the year after that. Both are exceptionally low figures suggesting the car was barely driven during that period. In 2025 the mileage jumped by around 4,846 miles, and in the most recent year it covered about 2,249 miles. This pattern suggests the car sat largely unused for a stretch and then returned to more regular, though still light, duty. The overall average of roughly 4,169 miles per year across its 21-year life is well below the typical UK average. Low mileage is not automatically a positive signal here. On a vehicle this old, rubber components such as suspension bushings, coolant hoses, brake lines, and seals degrade with time regardless of how few miles they cover.
