2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5L Petrol · GF08 SVC

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, having passed the test on 04 December 2024 with 97,200 miles recorded. The maintenance trend remains stable, with no significant defects flagged in the most recent inspection. The previous test in December 2023 noted an oil leak, specifically referencing the engine (8.4.1 (a) (i)), but this was not deemed excessive and did not result in a failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, showing a low annual accumulation of approximately 5,400 miles per year. The most recent test in December 2022 identified significant wear on both the nearside and offside rear tyres, stating they were worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This recurring issue suggests that basic consumable upkeep, particularly tyre replacement schedules, may have been inconsistent during that period. A buyer should inspect the suspension system, including the condition of the coil springs and suspension bushes, as these components are age-related and prone to degradation. Given the vehicle's history, attention should be paid to the brake discs and calipers for signs of wear or binding. Furthermore, a thorough check for structural corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and under the chassis, is recommended to ensure overall structural integrity.
