2013 Subaru Impreza 1.6L Petrol · VO63 ODH

You must be aware that this vehicle currently has no valid MOT, as the last test was passed in January 2023. With a recorded mileage of 109,243 miles, the usage sits at roughly 8,400 miles per year, which is typical for a car of this age and suggests it has not been left standing for long periods. The MOT history reveals a persistent and worsening pattern of front suspension and steering wear. Play in the steering rack inner joints was first noted as an advisory in 2021, became a dangerous defect causing a failure in December 2022, and was still noted as an advisory immediately after repair. This indicates a chronic issue that may have been temporarily patched rather than fully rectified. There is clear evidence of deteriorating front-end geometry. The nearside front inner suspension arm pin or bush was excessively worn in late 2022, and tyre wear has been consistently recorded on the inner edges. The progression from worn edges in 2020 to exposed cords on the offside front tyre in 2022 strongly suggests that the tracking or wheel alignment has been incorrect for several years, rapidly destroying the tyres. The overall condition trend is concerning regarding safety-critical components. While the mileage is average, the rate of wear on the steering and suspension parts is higher than expected.
