Description
A well-looked-after 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type UK in Grey Metallic with 81k miles and long-term ownership since 2019. Used mainly for occasional drives and maintained carefully, including recent major work: new catalytic converters (2024), new radiator, new crankshaft position sensor, and June 2023 service.
Fitted with a coherent modification package: Mishimoto intake, HKS dump valve, stainless Powerflow exhaust and a professional rolling road remap with dyno sheet confirming 315bhp. Starts first time hot or cold, boosts cleanly, pulls strongly and drives exactly as an STI should. Gearbox smooth, clutch healthy, brakes strong, steering tight. No oil or coolant leaks during ownership.
Interior is tidy and honest for its age, with heated seats, SIDrive, DCCD, STI sill plates and a neatly installed JVC double-DIN head unit providing reversing camera, parking sensors and Bluetooth. Dash cam fitted. Minor age-related wear noted (driver bolster, small dash mark, doorcard paint chips). All electrics work; passenger window switch occasionally intermittent.
Exterior presents well with a good shine, structurally straight panels and no major damage. Typical age-related marks: small rear door dent from another cars door in a car park, bonnet scoop fade, light stone chips and minor scratches. Gloss black alloys with nearly new tyres. Stainless exhaust system visibly fresh. Underside dry with expected surface corrosion for age; reflected in minor MOT advisories.
Strong history: full Subaru service book to 2019, then serviced by owner and father (40+ years mechanic). Large folder of receipts, MOTs and health checks included. Tracker fitted with Category 1 alarm documentation. Two full sets of keys, original Subaru handbook and leather wallet present.
ULEZ compliant. MOT until Feb 2027. 17 MOT tests with fully consistent mileage progression.
A straight, honest, mechanically sorted STI with long ownership, quality upgrades and all major jobs done, a genuinely usable, all-weather performance car that's ready to enjoy.
Open to reasonable offers.
