2014 Subaru WRX 2.5L Petrol · ST14 ADE

The 2014 Subaru WRX demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its MOT history, with no defects recorded in the most recent 2025 test at 9,618 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s low mileage of 9,618 miles over 12 years suggests minimal usage, which aligns with the absence of wear-related failures in the records. The mileage progression shows gradual accumulation, increasing from 8,164 miles in 2021 to 9,618 miles in 2025—a total of 1,454 miles over four years. This slow growth raises questions about usage patterns, as the car has likely spent extended periods stationary, potentially affecting components like tyres, suspension, and battery health. The lack of rapid mileage spikes or significant gaps between MOTs implies regular, if infrequent, operation, but does not confirm active maintenance beyond the mandatory tests. A physical inspection should prioritise corrosion risks, particularly in the underbody and exhaust system, given the low mileage and potential for stagnant conditions. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components for stiffness or wear, as prolonged inactivity can degrade these parts. The absence of advisories in the MOT records does not eliminate risks associated with long-term storage, so verifying the battery’s condition and fluid freshness is critical. Structural integrity remains unimpeached, but the vehicle’s low usage warrants careful evaluation of hidden deterioration.
