2010 SUBARU OUTBACK2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in April 2026, but this followed a failure for critical safety defects. There is a worrying recurring pattern of neglect regarding the tyres. In April 2025, all tyres were flagged as cracking or perishing. By April 2026, the condition had deteriorated significantly, with the front tyres failing because ply and cords were exposed. This indicates a trend of worsening maintenance where basic safety consumables were ignored until they became dangerous. The 2025 MOT history reveals a period of significant mechanical and electrical instability. The vehicle failed on a fuel tank leak, an inoperative engine management light, and an electronic stability control fault. While these were rectified to achieve a pass, they suggest the car has suffered from inconsistent upkeep. The mileage is typical for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,056 miles per year. This suggests the car has been used regularly rather than left standing, which makes the presence of perishing and cracking tyres even more concerning as it implies a failure to replace aged rubber despite active use.
