1995 Subaru Impreza WRX 2.0L Petrol · M29 WRX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile in its recent history, having passed its latest MOT in March 2026 at 144,899 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in June 2024 and June 2023, indicating that the car has undergone a period of consistent maintenance. The absence of any advisories in the last three tests suggests that the mechanical and structural issues previously identified have been addressed and that the vehicle is not currently showing signs of rapid wear or emerging failures on its underbody components. The usage pattern is notably low for a 31-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,674 miles per year. However, a significant gap in testing records exists between 2012 and 2023, during which the car covered only 5,600 miles. Such long periods of inactivity often lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, seized seals, or internal fluid contamination, regardless of the low mileage. The 2012 test at 139,292 miles revealed several failures, including an offside rear wheel bearing with play and exhaust emission issues, which were rectified for the subsequent pass. A buyer should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis, as the record previously noted slight structural damage in 2009 and excessive corrosion in 2008. While the recent tests are clean, the age of the Subaru Impreza necessitates a thorough inspection for hidden rust in the sills and mounting points. Given the history of exhaust leaks and lambda sensor failures in 2010, the entire exhaust system and catalytic converter should be verified to ensure no new corrosion or leaks has developed since the last inspection.
