2014 Subaru BRZ 2.0L Petrol · LF64 VTC

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a clear worsening trend regarding rubber components and braking hardware. The most recent test in December 2025 at 67,885 miles flagged multiple advisories that were not present or were less severe in previous years. While the car passes, the accumulation of deteriorating ball joints and perished tyre surfaces suggests a reactive approach to servicing rather than proactive preventative replacement of age-related wear. At 67,885 miles over twelve years, this Subaru has covered significantly less than the national average, averaging approximately 5,657 miles per year. The mileage progression is consistent, with intervals of roughly 3,000 to 3,400 miles between annual tests from 2021 to 2025. However, the low usage appears to contribute to the degradation of materials. The recurring cracking and perishing of tyre sidewalls noted in 2024 and 2025 indicates the vehicle likely sits for long periods, causing the rubber to dry out despite low tread wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record shows a persistent issue with the front lower wishbone ball joint dust covers since late 2024, which reached a severely deteriorated state by 2025; these allow grease ingress and subsequent joint failure. The front brake discs have shown consistent pitting and corrosion since 2022, suggesting the car is not driven frequently enough to clear the rotors of rust. Additionally, the front windscreen should be checked closely, as the chip moved from Zone A in 2023 to Zone B by 2025, bringing it closer to the critical driver's line of sight.
