2004 Subaru Impreza 2.0L Petrol · NJ53 BCU

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-02 passed with a specific note regarding the offside rear brake disc being worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened or corroded. A recurring mechanical pattern is the observation of wear on the offside rear brake disc across multiple inspections. The condition trend appears stable, as the most recent inspection noted a specific wear issue rather than a significant deterioration from previous reports. The mileage of 99,594 miles for a vehicle of this age suggests a relatively low annual mileage, which could indicate lighter use or extended periods of standing. This lower mileage might suggest less overall wear on major drivetrain components compared to a higher mileage example. A buyer should first thoroughly inspect the brakes, specifically checking the offside rear brake disc for any signs of scoring or pitting, as this was noted in the latest report. Secondly, given the history of power steering pipe seepage noted in 2023 and 2023, the buyer should check for any visible fluid leaks around the power steering system. Finally, a detailed visual inspection of the suspension and general bodywork is recommended to assess overall condition.
