2012 Subaru Impreza 2.5L Petrol · KW51 COS

The most recent MOT from October 2025 was a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to at least 2021, with no failed tests or advisories noted in the provided history. The vehicle's mechanical condition appears exceptionally stable. There are no recurring issues or signs of a worsening trend evident in the MOT records, as every inspection has returned a clean result. The mileage is significantly low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,034 miles per year. While this indicates very light use, the signal is somewhat ambiguous. Such low usage can suggest a vehicle that has been carefully kept, but it can also imply long periods of standing. Because the car has been driven so little, the primary risk is not high-mileage wear, but rather the potential effects of under-use. When a vehicle sits for extended periods, rubber components, seals, and fluids can degrade regardless of the distance traveled. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the condition of the tires for age-related cracking, checking all rubber hoses and seals for signs of perishing, and confirming through service records that oil and fluid changes have been performed regularly despite the low mileage.
