The most common problems on the Subaru Impreza Wrx-sti Type Uk are tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (30 recorded failures), exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive (21), and exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content at idle excessive (17). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection.

A typical Subaru Impreza Wrx-sti Type Uk owner drives around 2,648 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.

If you're buying one that's already approaching that window, the data suggests it has plenty of life left provided it's been maintained.
Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
