2003 Subaru Impreza 2.0L Petrol · FV03 FSX

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 21 June 2025 at 3,442 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests that the vehicle has remained in a state of compliance throughout its life, showing no signs of mechanical degradation or structural failure typically associated with a vehicle of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 23-year-old car, averaging approximately 150 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between May 2016 and June 2024, during which the vehicle covered only 7 miles, moving from 2,998 to 3,005. Since the 2024 test, it has covered an additional 437 miles. This usage profile indicates the car likely spent long periods stationary, which presents specific risks to rubber components and fluid integrity rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection focused on the risks associated with long-term storage. Low-mile vehicles often suffer from flat-sp tyres, perished suspension bushes, and seized brake calipers due to lack of movement. You should check for fluid leaks from the brake lines and engine seals, as gaskets can dry over time when not regularly lubricated. Additionally, inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, as the MOT tester may miss surface rust regardless of how few miles the car has driven.
