2021 Subaru BRZ 2.0L Petrol · SM71 EXE

The most recent MOT on December 3, 2025, resulted in a pass, but it highlights a persistent issue with the braking system. There is a clear recurring pattern regarding the front inner brake discs, which were noted as worn, pitted, or scored in both the 2024 and 2025 inspections. Because this defect has appeared in two consecutive years without being rectified, the condition is stable but unresolved. The vehicle has covered very low mileage for its age, averaging roughly 2,469 miles per year. While low mileage generally suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, it can often lead to the specific type of brake disc pitting seen here, as cars that spend long periods standing are more prone to surface corrosion. Overall, the MOT history is relatively clean, but the repeated advisory suggests the brakes are not being maintained or used enough to keep the discs clear of corrosion. When inspecting the car in person, your priority should be a close examination of the front brake discs to determine if the pitting has worsened and whether a full replacement of the discs and pads is now necessary for safety.
