Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- Excessive Oil ConsumptionModerate
Early FB20 engines can use oil quickly enough to require frequent top-ups between services, and neglected low oil levels can lead to bigger engine wear.
- Lineartronic CVT Valve Body FailureSerious
The Mk4 Impreza’s CVT can suffer solenoid or valve body faults that show up as shunting, hesitation and warning-light clusters.
- Air-Conditioning Condenser DamageModerate
The low-mounted condenser is vulnerable to stone damage and corrosion, leaving some cars with weak or completely failed air conditioning.
