2019 Subaru Impreza 1.6L Petrol · SN69 XAB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed the February 2026 test at 59,316 miles, the tester flagged both the offside and nearside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit with uneven wear. This follows a period of clean records in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that consumable components have now reached their interval. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation, moving from 25,825 miles in August 2022 to over 59,000 miles by early 2026. A gap of nearly 9,000 miles occurred between the August 2024 and February 2025 tests, while the more recent interval covered roughly 1,500 miles. This suggests regular usage without long stationary periods that typically mask mechanical failures. A buyer should inspect the front suspension alignment and bushings, as the edge wear noted in the 2026 MOT often points to worn control arm bushes or incorrect geometry. The 2023 advisory regarding perishing on the rear tyres indicates the vehicle may have sat for periods or used low-quality rubber, necessitating a thorough check for age-related cracking. Given the lack of structural corrosion or brake defects in the history, the focus should remain on the immediate need for new tyres and the integrity of the front-end suspension.
