2019 Subaru BRZ 2.0L Petrol · NJ69 CKX

A consistent pass history defines this vehicle's roadworthiness, although the most recent test on 22 September 2025 introduces a widespread concern regarding rubber degradation. While the records from 2022, 2023, and 2024 show a stable trend with few to no defects, the latest outcome indicates that all four tyres are now perishing or cracking. The recorded mileage of 24,752 miles over approximately seven years is low, averaging roughly 3,536 miles per year. This usage profile suggests the vehicle has experienced significant periods of inactivity or very light use. Mechanically, this pattern often shifts the primary risk from drivetrain wear to the deterioration of age-sensitive components, a fact supported by the simultaneous perishing of the tyre carcasses. Immediate inspection is required for the near side and offside front and rear tyres, as all four were flagged for cracking and perishing in the latest test. During a test drive, listen for abnormal road noise and feel for any lack of stability or grip during cornering. A physical examination of the tyre sidewalls is necessary to identify the extent of the cracking, as this indicates the rubber has lost its elasticity. Previous advisories from 2022 and 2023 regarding the fitment of under trays should be verified to ensure these components remain securely fastened. Check beneath the chassis for any loose plastic shielding or missing fasteners that could cause rattling or catch on road surfaces. During the drive, ensure there are no unusual vibrations or wind noise emanating from the underbody at higher speeds.
