2008 Subaru Justy 1.0L Petrol · WN08 NBB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward addressing age-related degradation and wear. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 84,894 miles passed, it revealed several minor advisories including defective wiper blades, a missing mirror cover, and perished rubber. This follows a failure in early 2025 for split CV boots and a stop lamp, which were rectified, indicating that the car is now undergoing reactive maintenance rather than proactive preventative care. At 84,894 miles, the Subaru has averaged approximately 4,700 miles per year over its 18-year lifespan, which is significantly below the national average. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with only 1,360 miles recorded between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests. While this low mileage suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine, it often correlates with the accelerated drying of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the cracking tyre and broken exhaust rubber brackets noted in the latest inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system, as records consistently flag corrosion on both front and rear suspension arms across 2025 and 2026. Although these are currently noted as not seriously weakened, the recurring nature of this advisory suggests advancing surface rust that will eventually require structural attention. Additionally, the oil leak noted in 2023 should be monitored to ensure it has not worsened, and the recently replaced CV boots from 2025 should be checked for immediate grease leakage to prevent further damage to the driveshaft.
