2021 Subaru XV I SE Prem E Boxer AWD CVT 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · DE71 AKF

The Subaru XV remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance profile, confirmed by the DVSA test on 24 September 2025 at 16,613 miles which returned a pass and no defects recorded. The earlier examination on 23 September 2024 at 13,013 miles also produced a clean result. No recurring advisories or failures appear across the two recorded annual inspections, indicating the vehicle's mechanical condition has neither worsened nor required corrective work. At roughly five years old, the car shows just 16,613 miles on the odometer, an average of about 3,323 miles per year. Between September 2024 and September 2025 the recorded distance increased by only 3,600 miles. This low accumulation points to gentle use or lengthy stationary intervals rather than hard driving. The sparse yet unblemished MOT record reveals no testing gaps and suggests previous keepers met statutory obligations without deferring basic care. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the absence of flagged faults. Low-mileage all-wheel-drive vehicles often suffer brake disc corrosion and suspension bush degradation from standing idle. On the ramp, examine front and rear brake discs for pitting, check coil springs and wishbone bushes for cracks, and assess tyre sidewalls for age crazing even with legal tread. Verify the Boxer engine and CVT transmission fluids for contamination that infrequent running can conceal. Structural integrity drew no corrosion comments in either test, but inspect sills, subframes and exhaust system for hidden rust given winter salt exposure. Such checks will validate the clean MOT history and clarify the true condition of consumable and structural components.
