2004 Subaru Impreza 2.0L Petrol · KP54 LWW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 75,262 miles where no defects were recorded. This follows a three-year streak of clean passes after a single failure in early 2023. The transition from a failure to a perfect pass record suggests that any previous mechanical or safety issues were addressed, and the vehicle currently meets all minimum legal roadworthiness standards. The mileage pattern is remarkably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,421 miles per year. Between January 2023 and March 2026, the car covered 11,187 miles, indicating a consistent but light-use history. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as brake hoses and suspension bushes, which do not show wear through mileage alone. Despite the clean record in recent tests, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as Subaru models of this era are prone to hidden corrosion that may not always trigger an MOT advisory. The low usage also suggests the braking system should be checked for seized calipers or pitted brake discs resulting from periods of inactivity. Inspect the tyres for flat spotting or age-related sidew cracking, as the low mileage count has not prevented the rubber from hardening over two decades.
