AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The most recent MOT, dated 27 January 2026, was a clean pass at 58,662 mi with no defects recorded. This is the fourth consecutive annual MOT that shows a pass with no recorded failures or advisories. All five MOTs (2022‑2026) are identical in outcome – each one passed without any recorded defects. The absence of any recurring or new failures suggests the vehicle’s condition has been stable over the past four years. There is no evidence of a worsening trend; if anything, the consistency of clean passes points to a well‑maintained car. At 58,662 mi for an eleven‑year‑old 2015 Subaru Impreza the mileage works out to about 5,300 mi per year, which is considerably below the average for a vehicle of this age. Low mileage can mean the car has been lightly driven, which generally reduces wear on consumables such as brakes, tyres, suspension bushings and the drivetrain. However, it can also indicate long periods of inactivity, during which rubber components may dry out and seals can deteriorate. Because the mileage figure alone does not tell us how the miles were accumulated, the wear picture remains ambiguous – the car could be in good mechanical shape, but a thorough visual check is still warranted. Overall, the MOT history presents a vehicle with no recorded safety or emissions issues and a stable, low‑mileage usage pattern.

Our Verdict

This is a strong candidate for buyers se

When inspecting this Impreza, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record, as MOTs only test specific safety and environmental items. Given the 2457cc engine, check for any signs of oil leaks or fluid loss that wouldn't necessarily trigger an MOT failure but are important for long-term maintenance.

Negotiate based on the mileage; while 58,662 is relatively low for an eleven-year-old car, it is higher than the 3,610 annual average seen in the wider model data. Ensure you check the condition of the tyres and exhaust, as these are common failure points for this model across the wider dataset.

Running this 2.5L petrol Impreza will involve higher-than-average costs compared to smaller economy cars. You should budget for mid-to-high insurance groups and moderate fuel consumption typical of a larger displacement naturally aspirated engine.

Maintenance costs will likely be influenced by the complexity of the Subaru drivetrain. While the MOT history shows no recent failures, expect to budget for routine consumables like tyres and brakes, which are highlighted as common maintenance areas for this model type.

While this specific vehicle has had no MOT failures, the aggregate data for the Subaru Impreza indicates that headlamps, exhausts, and tyres are the most frequent reasons for failure. You should specifically check the brightness and alignment of the headlamp units and the structural integrity of the exhaust system.

Additionally, inspect the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition across all four wheels. Because this vehicle has covered more mileage than the model average, pay close attention to suspension components and bushings for any signs of wear that may not have been flagged in the recent clean MOT tests.

This 2015 black Subaru Impreza has covered 58,662 miles as of its most recent MOT in January 2026. The vehicle's history shows five consecutive MOT passes with no recorded defects between 2022 and 2026. Given the model's average annual mileage of 3,610, this specific car has been driven more than the statistical average for its age, but remains well within reasonable limits for a 2.5L petrol engine.

The Subaru Impreza shows an average MOT pass rate of 82.0% across 26,153 analysed vehicles, with headlamps, exhausts, and tyres being the primary failure points.
