2017 Subaru WRX 2.5L Petrol · WU17 OGO

The Subaru WRX currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a successful test on 12 March 2025 at 33,987 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle transitioned from a failed test on 7 March 2025 to a clean pass five days later without any recorded defects. This pattern of immediate rectification following a failed initial inspection mirrors the sequence observed in April 2023, where a failure on the 12th was resolved by a pass on the 14th. The vehicle has covered 33,987 miles over nine years, averaging approximately 3,776 miles annually. This low mileage suggests either infrequent use or extended periods of inactivity. While the recorded mileage is modest, the intermittent testing gaps and the proximity of failure dates to pass dates indicate that the vehicle often undergoes testing only when necessary for legal compliance. There is no evidence of excessive mileage accumulation, but the low usage frequency warrants a check for issues related to long-term storage, such as seized components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension components, as these areas often suffer from neglect on vehicles that sit for long periods. Although the MOT record shows no specific advisories for corrosion or mechanical degradation, the history of failed tests without listed defects suggests that the vehicle may have been presented for testing while incomplete or suffering from transient faults that were addressed off-record. Verify the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the suspension bushes remain supple, as these are common failure points for Subaru models of this age that do not see regular, high-mileage operation. Buying Score: 68. Risk Level: Low.
