2017 Subaru WRX 2.5L Petrol · KP67 WWR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on May 29, 2026, 21,761 miles. This result shows a marked improvement over previous years where the tester consistently identified consumable issues. The absence of advisories or defects in the two most recent tests suggests the current owner has addressed outstanding maintenance requirements that were flagging earlier in the vehicle history. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,418 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between November 2021 and May 2023, during which the car covered only 449 miles. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, such long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber components, flat-spotting, and fluid acidification which are not fully captured by an MOT test. A buyer should focus physical inspection on the front suspension, as the record shows a recurring trend of front tyres worn unevenly and near the legal limit from 2021 through 2024. This specific wear pattern often suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that remained unresolved despite multiple MOT passes. The addition of undertrays and sill covers in the 2026 test indicates a proactive approach to corrosion protection, but a manual check of the sills remains necessary to ensure no structural rust is hidden beneath the new covers.
