MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Subaru Impreza (V978 DSR) between June 2005 and February 2026.

The record contains 17 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 21 February 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (10 issues), Bodywork (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Steering (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 32 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”; “Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength Front pane”; “Nearside Rear Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced outer sill (7.1.1 (a) (i)”.
