2014 Subaru BRZ 2.0L Petrol · LB63 UNN

The most recent MOT, dated 21 April 2026, shows the car passed overall but recorded a single failure for the off‑side rear registration‑plate lamp being inoperative. This is a minor lighting defect; the vehicle was otherwise deemed road‑worthy at 56 675 mi. There is no recurring mechanical pattern evident in the MOT record – the only issue recorded is the lamp fault, and it appears isolated. With only two entries (both on the same day) the trend is essentially neutral; there is no indication of worsening or improving condition beyond the usual need to replace a lamp. At 12 years old the mileage averages about 4 700 mi per year, which is low for a vehicle of this age. Low mileage can mean the engine, transmission and other drivetrain components have seen relatively little wear, but it may also suggest periods of infrequent use. Prolonged inactivity can lead to rubber and hose deterioration, corrosion of brake components, and a loss of tyre elasticity, so the mileage figure alone does not guarantee the condition of wear items. For a buyer, the first things to check in person are: Verify that the rear registration‑plate lamp (and all other lights) now functions correctly – replace the bulb if necessary and confirm the fault has been remedied. Inspect the condition of the tyres, brakes and suspension bushings for any signs of ageing or cracking that can arise from long periods of storage. Look for any leaks, corrosion or cracked hoses that can develop when a car is lightly used for many years.
