How many Subaru BRZ cars are left in Great Britain?

There were 828 Subaru BRZ cars licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 60 declared off the road (SORN). That is 4.9% fewer than the peak of 871 in 2021.

Subaru BRZ MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Subaru BRZ cars in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Subaru BRZ engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 856 Subaru BRZ cars licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 100.0% have an engine of 1,901cc to 2,000cc.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

Subaru BRZ fuel economy and CO2

The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Subaru BRZ from 2012 to 2021. On the WLTP test (listings 2019 to 2021), official combined fuel economy for its petrol versions ranges from 33.0 to 33.3 mpg, with CO2 of 191 to 193 g/km.

• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide) come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “BRZ, From 2012 MY”, “BRZ”, “BRZ From 2012 MY”, “BRZ, From 2016 MY”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Subaru BRZ safety recalls

DVSA lists 3 safety recalls for the Subaru BRZ since 1992, the first in 2016. The most recent was launched on 19 September 2022.

All 3 Subaru BRZ recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Subaru BRZ. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
