2010 Subaru Impreza 2.0L Petrol · SY10 RLV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 16 October 2025 at 99,146 miles recorded a pass with no defects. Mileage progression shows a gradual increase. Between 31 October 2022 (89,179 miles) and 16 October 2025 (99,146 miles) the car added roughly 10,000 miles over three years, averaging about 3,300 miles annually. This is lower than the earlier estimate of 6,200 miles per year, indicating lighter use or periods of inactivity. The gap between the failed test on 3 November 2023 at 91,012 miles and the subsequent pass on 8 November 2023 at 91,034 miles is minimal, and the failure was recorded without noted defects, suggesting a possible procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. A prospective buyer should inspect the braking system for wear on discs, pads and ensure no binding calipers. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for corrosion or excessive play. The exhaust and under‑body for rust, especially around wheel arches and sills, given the age. Tyre tread depth and pressure, and the condition of wiper blades are basic consumables to verify. A service history confirming regular oil changes and filter replacements would be valuable, as the MOT record alone does not detail routine maintenance. Overall, the recent pass and consistent results indicate the Impreza has been maintained adequately. The single isolated failure without recorded defects does not point to a systemic issue, but a thorough pre‑purchase inspection remains advisable to confirm the mechanical integrity before acquisition.
