2016 SUBARU OUTBACK2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in March 2026 at 42,958 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears improving following a period of instability in early 2025. While the vehicle failed its test during that year due to a fractured coil spring and perished tyres, the subsequent pass indicates these specific mechanical and safety issues were addressed immediately, returning the car to a clean state of operation. At ten years old, the Subaru Outback shows a low mileage profile of 42,958 miles, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. This low usage often suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it increases the risk of rubber-based degradation. The data shows a consistent annual progression of roughly 3,000 to 3,500 miles between 2023 and 2026, which explains the cracking and perishing of the tyres noted in the 2025 records. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension components, as the fracture of the nearside front coil spring in 2025 indicates that parts may be reaching their fatigue limit despite the low mileage. The record also shows rear brake pads reaching the limit in 2024, so the buyer must verify the current remaining thickness of the pads and the condition of the calipers to ensure they are not seized from long periods of stationary use. Additionally, given the age of the vehicle and the history of perishing rubber, the sidewalls of all current tyres should be checked for deep cracking that a standard tread depth test might miss.
