2013 Subaru BRZ 2.0L Petrol · SN63 LCZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing wear-related issues. Following the most recent test in November 2025 at 67,916 miles, the car passed with advisories regarding the rear suspension and braking system. This represents a departure from the clean records of 2022 and 2023, indicating that components are now beginning to require attention despite the vehicle's low mileage. At 13 years old, the SUB-ARU BRZ has covered a relatively low distance, averaging approximately 5,224 miles per year. This low usage profile typically reduces mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, yet the data reveals a period of higher activity. Between September 2023 and November 2024, the car covered over 3,500 miles in just fourteen months. The failure in November 2024 due to a binding front brake caliper and defective wiper-related components suggests that minor preventative maintenance items were neglected until the annual test interval. A buyer must inspect the rear suspension assembly closely, as the November 2025 test flagged external damage to both nearside and offside shock absorber casings along with corrosion on rear components. While corrosion is common on vehicles of this age, the combination with damaged shock casings suggests potential for future leaks. The front brake discs also show a significant lip on the edge, confirming they are nearing the end of their service life and will require replacement soon. The previous binding of the offside front caliper in 2024 should be re-checked to ensure the piston is not seizing and the slide pins remain lubricated.
