Reliability
The Subaru Impreza has an average MOT pass rate of 83.1%, which is 2.5 percentage points below the Subaru brand average of 85.7%. This is a strong result, indicating that the Impreza is well-engineered and tends to age well mechanically. Owners can expect fewer surprises at MOT time.
The most common reasons a Subaru Impreza fails its MOT are a spring or spring component fractured or seriously weakened, stop lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning, the strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired. If you are preparing your Impreza for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.
Before buying a used Subaru Impreza, we recommend checking the full MOT history, write-off status, outstanding finance, and stolen vehicle status. These checks can be done for free using the registration number.
