2010 Subaru Impreza 2.5L Petrol · LS10 DYU

The 2026‑04‑10 MOT at 65,332 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and a stable maintenance trend since the 2025 test. The vehicle has shown consistent pass rates over the past five years, with no defects logged in any test from 2022 onward. Mileage has risen from 41,947 miles in April 2020 to 65,332 miles in April 2026, averaging roughly 4,083 miles per year, which is low for a 16‑year‑old Impreza and suggests limited use or extended periods of inactivity. The interval between the 2019 test (38,183 miles) and the 2020 test (41,947 miles) covered 3,764 miles in nine months, while subsequent annual intervals have remained within 3,000–6,000 miles, indicating a steady but modest accumulation. Recurring issues flagged in earlier records include a corroded rear exhaust joint noted in 2018 and 2018‑06‑15, rear brake pad wear below 1.5 mm in the 2018 failure, uneven tyre wear on the near‑side front tyre in 2019, and rear tyre cracking observed in 2017 and 2016. Additional concerns involve a rear wiper in poor condition recorded in 2019 and a parking brake lever with little reserve travel noted in 2013. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear exhaust for rust or joint failure, measure rear brake pad thickness, examine rear tyres for tread depth and sidewall cracking, verify the operation of the rear wiper and the reserve travel of the parking brake lever, and check for any binding calipers, suspension bushes or coil spring fatigue that could affect structural integrity.
