2013 Subaru BRZ 2.0L Petrol · SA13 YRL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a transition from minor consumable wear to emerging component failure. The most recent test in March 2026 at 92,342 miles identified oil misting on both rear shock absorbers and surface corrosion on the front brake discs. While the car passed without failures, the presence of leaking dampers suggests the suspension components are nearing the end of their functional life following a period of clean returns in previous years. The mileage history shows a consistent usage pattern of approximately 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with average expectations for a vehicle of this age. Between the March 2022 test at 65,212 miles and the 2026 test at 92,342 miles, the car covered 27,130 miles. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not been sat stationary for long periods, which generally prevents the degradation of seals and rubber components despite the specific faults noted in the record. A buyer must focus their inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the ball joint dust covers showed a progression from slight deterioration in 2022 to severe deterioration by 2023 at 72,696 miles. The recurring issues with tyres wearing on the edges in 2023 and 2024 indicate potential alignment problems or worn suspension bushes that require professional verification. Furthermore, the current misting on the rear shocks needs a physical check to determine if the seals are active, as failed dampers will eventually lead to uneven tyre wear and compromised handling.
