2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · J20 HSA

The Subaru Impreza presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 4 July 2025 at 77,911 miles, with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is stable across the recorded history, though the test pattern shows administrative anomalies rather than mechanical decline. The vehicle cleared its final assessment without advisories and currently holds a valid test certificate relative to today's date of 8 July 2026. The recorded mileage of 77,911 at the 2025 test equates to roughly 4,583 miles per year across the car's 17-year life, a low figure for a 2009 vehicle. Between the 27 July 2023 pass at 72,932 miles and the 22 July 2024 test at 74,882 miles the car covered only 1,950 miles, then added 3,029 miles by July 2025. Such low annual use suggests prolonged standing periods are likely, which carries known risks for Subaru rubber components, brake caliper seizure, and underbody corrosion even where the MOT shows a clean sheet. The July 2024 and July 2025 records each list a fail immediately followed by a pass at identical mileage, with no defects recorded against either outcome. This points to documentation or presentation issues at the testing station rather than flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should not treat the absence of advisories as proof of condition. Given the low mileage and age, a physical inspection should prioritise structural integrity beneath the sills and rear arches for corrosion, check for binding calipers from disuse, and verify tyre sidewall cracking and suspension bush perishing. The clean MOT history offers no reassurance on these dormant-fault areas.
