1992 Subaru Impreza 2.0L Petrol · K862 PHW

The most recent MOT, dated 30 July 2024, was a clean pass at 148,933 miles with no defects recorded. This mirrors the earlier tests (2019‑2023), all of which also passed without any noted problems, suggesting that the vehicle has not shown any recurring safety‑related failures in the MOT system. Across the five entries the mileage progression is unusual. Between 2019 and 2023 the car accumulated only about 5,900 miles, roughly 1,500 miles per year – very low for a 34‑year‑old model and indicative of light use or long periods of inactivity. However, the jump to 148,933 miles in the 2024 test represents an increase of roughly 66,000 miles in a single year. That surge either points to a period of intensive driving or a possible odometer correction. Either way, it means that a large portion of the vehicle’s wear is concentrated in the most recent twelve months. Because the MOT history shows no recorded defects, the recorded condition trend is stable in terms of MOT outcomes. The risk picture, however, is dominated by the recent mileage spike, which could have accelerated wear on consumables such as brakes, clutch, suspension bushings, engine seals and drivetrain components. The low overall average mileage is ambiguous – it tells us the car has been lightly used for most of its life, but the last year’s activity may have introduced new wear that the MOT has not yet captured.
