2013 Subaru WRX STI-TP UK SYM-CAL AWD 2.5L Petrol · PX13 NEO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern of neglected consumables and deferred repairs. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 66,349 miles resulted in a pass, it revealed a damaged nearside front wheel and significant chunks missing from the outer walls of the nearside front and rear tyres. This indicates a progression from the 2025 advisory, where the tyre was merely cracking, to structural failure of the tyre rubber. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 66,349 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,100 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual testing, with the vehicle covering roughly 4,300 to 4,500 miles between each MOT from 2023 to 2026. However, the low-frequency usage pattern often leads to age-related degradation of rubber-based components and surface corrosion on metalwork, which aligns with the recurring brake and tyre issues noted throughout the multi-year record. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The history shows the rear brake discs were flagged as pitted or scored in both 2023 and 2024, suggesting the owner allowed surface oxidation to persist without replacement, likely due to periods of inactivity. The recent damage to the tyre sidewalls and wheel rim suggests impact damage or curb strikes, which could have compromised the alignment or bent suspension arms and bushings. Check for perished rubber on all remaining tyres, as the low mileage often masks dry rot in the tread..
