2007 Subaru Unknown 2.0L Petrol · W700 WRC

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on March 6 2026 at 137,546 miles, indicating it currently meets minimum roadworthiness standards. However, the tester flagged both the offside rear and offside front tyres as being slightly damaged or perished. These advisories suggest age-related rubber degradation rather than immediate tread wear, which is common for a vehicle of this vintage. The presence of these faults indicates the previous owner was delaying replacing consumables until they reached a specific advisory threshold. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 137,546 miles averages to approximately 7,239 miles per year. This low annual usage is consistent with a secondary vehicle, but it often masks underlying issues where rubber components, such as bushings and seals, dry out due to time rather than mechanical friction. The lack of mechanical failures in the provided record suggests the drivetrain has remained functional, though the low mileage does not exempt the car from the typical wear associated with an aging chassis. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components, as Subaru vehicles from this era are prone to corrosion in specific mounting areas. Given the advisories regarding perished tyres, a close check of the sidewalls and cracks on all other tyres is necessary to ensure no hidden dry rot. The record shows a stable pass history, but the age of the vehicle demands attention to rubber-based components and potential rust that a standard MOT test does not fully capture.
