Hi Everyone,

I am currently in the process of looking to buy an Impreza WRX, iv managed to scrape together a budget of 8K in total and have been saving for a while now.

I am currently keeping a close eye on AutoTrader every day and found this beast:
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...01904247252523

After doing a free check at www.rapidcarcheck.co.uk it’s saying there is mileage issues detected (I have added a screenshot below), It says the issue is “The odometer reading reduced by 191 miles between 12 Feb 2014 and 13 Feb 2014” AND “There is a mix of odometer readings in miles and kilometres.”.




As I am going to be a first time Subaru Impreza owner, the questions i wanted to ask are:

Is it common for a Subaru to have a mix of miles and KM mileage readings, I presume it must be down to this car being an import, but I may be wrong??
Would it put you off buying the car? Because it’s being flagged as having mileage problems? Would you give this car a miss and find another or wouldn’t it put you off?

Just a bit confused and wouldn't mind some advice from other owners?

Thanks in advance,

 

If it was me I would rather buy this one (mostly because its mine haha) - https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...IMPREZA&page=1

 

ROLLING ROAD MAP...FAST....and the standard 2.5 engine not usually a good combination.
check MOT history,plasterd with undersealer,maybe hiding something.
could be a genuine car but you'll get better for your money.

 

Strong money for a stock engine wrx

 

Both over priced.

 

see if there are any sti’s out there if they are near your budget or if not can you save a bit more

 

Thats a UK car so shouldn't have KM registered as mileage anyway...! Personally as mentioned there is better out there. This will cause you issues whenever you come to sell it also as everyone does MOT history checks nowadays

 

The one you mentioned mate is over priced, wouldn't bother

 

Regarding the KM reading. I suspect that is just an 'administration' error :: Previous MOT's are in Miles
