There were not enough MOT tests of Subaru Solterras 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.

Launched 1 December 2025DVSA recall R/2025/484Manufacturer ref. SRT374
Defect
On affected vehicles the Parking Assist ECU software may cause (1) the rearview image to freeze briefly during the backing event if reverse is selected within a specific time after ignition is turned on; or (2) the rearview image not to display on the next ignition on if the ignition is turned on and off within a specific time
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Subaru Solterra. 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.
