2010 Subaru Impreza 2.0L Petrol · LM59 LBF

The overall roadworthiness status for the 2010 Subaru Impresa is currently failing, with the most recent MOT test on 2026-01-19 at 72,437 miles showing a failure in the Front Headlamp aim and corrosion of the front coil springs. This indicates a persistent mechanical issue that has not been resolved, suggesting a lack of proactive maintenance and a potential pattern of worsening condition. The mileage data reveals a significant gap between the test dates and the vehicle's age, with only 16 years of recorded mileage accumulated between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This rapid accumulation suggests that the vehicle may have been driven less frequently or maintained more conservatively than expected, leading to accelerated wear on components such as suspension arms and shock absorbers. Given the recurring faults including corrosion of the front coil springs, worn inner and outer suspension arms, and binding rear brakes, the buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear in person. The history indicates that while the brakes appear to be bound, the corrosion of the suspension components and the worn suspension arms suggest that the drivetrain and suspension system are not in full working order and require immediate professional assessment.
