How long has he owned it?
Also, is it an Import? If so, the History may well be suspect. I ask because it mentions a CAT1 Alarm fitted as an aftermarket fit (UK Cars came with a Sigma CAT1)
94k miles is nothing if well maintained ... mine has 100k on it and is as smooth as she was on day one (but she has been looked after and only one owner).

i got my 98 uk wagon with 110k on it but a stack of history... now on 132k and no major issues. they seem to last well if looked after.
just in case you're not aware, this is one of the few models that doesn't have a mappable ecu as standard, so if you were thinking of modding it might not be the best one to go for.... if leaving as is, then it looks like a tidy, pre-loved one to me!

As stated above, 94k on a well looked after version is fine and actually decent mileage for a 12 year old example.
Is the FSH stamped and done to Subaru service interval requirements or done by the mechanics that owned it? A fresh HPI clean bill of health is good peace of mind on these type of cars - I have seen a clean HPI Certificate's dated very recently that showed as written off at Cat C inbetween times.

i had a 130k one which was rebuilt just b4 i had it, a well known tuner had owned the car and only rebuilt it to sell has he values is rep so didnt want it blowing up on the next owner.
well anyway he said it wasnt that bad when he split it to have a look , ie not overly worn on the shells, rings etc.

difficult to say on the milage as it depends on how it has been cared for.
My concerns are as follows
Selling as he has a company car - but will take a PX?
Obviously into detailing with the snow foaming and cleaning under the seats which is great, however dont be mislead by shiney paint etc - its the engine and gearbox that cost money on these cars - keep your eyes and ears open.

So many cars are not what they seem ..... I have experienced it time and again - there is always an 'Issue'!
Lost the LogBook!? Hmmmmmm, who loses a LogBook? I have folders of history, invoices, bills, MOT's, Original Purchase Receipt .... it's just the same with all of my cars (even my 15 year old MX5!).
Not many cracking cars out there, are there?
