Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- Infotainment Touchscreen Freezing or DelaminationModerate
The Starlink-era head unit can become slow, glitchy or develop screen faults such as freezing and ghost touches. Dashboard warning lights and electrical faults dominate the Impreza's MOT failure record, so any persistent electrical warning should be investigated.
- Suspension Knocking (Top Mounts, Bushes, Drop Links)Moderate
A long-running owner complaint on Impreza forums is a knock or clunk from the front end on bumps or when turning lock to lock, usually traced to worn strut top mounts, anti-roll bar drop links or wishbone bushes. Suspension is a leading MOT failure category on this model.
- Ignition Coil / ECM Engine-Stall RecallModerate
Certain 2016-2019 Imprezas were subject to an official UK recall for a possible engine stall with failure to restart, traced to the ignition coils and engine-control-module software. The remedy is a free ECM reprogramme and ignition-coil replacement where needed; not every affected car has had the work done, so the VIN should be checked on the GOV.UK recall register.
