2007 Subaru Impreza 1.5L Petrol · WV57 LRA

The vehicle maintains a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 111,965 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the owner has consistently addressed mechanical requirements before they reach a failure threshold, resulting in no recurring faults or escalating issues across the documented history. The mileage pattern is remarkably low for a 19-year-old Subaru, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2026, the car covered 9,890 miles, showing a consistent and modest usage rate of roughly 2,470 miles annually during that specific period. This low mileage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking components compared to average age vehicles. However, long periods of low use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals, which are not always captured by a standard MOT de-pollution test. Despite the clean digital history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focused on common age-related issues that the MOT does not cover. Priority should be given to checking for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as these Imprezas are prone to rust over two decades. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and rubber boots for cracking or perishing, as low mileage does not prevent rubber from hardening over time. Checking for fluid leaks around the engine and gearbox is essential to ensure the low usage has not resulted in neglected seals.
