2016 Subaru XV 2.0L Diesel · PX66 JRU

The Subaru XV holds a roadworthy status, with the most recent MOT on 11 July 2025 at 145,635 miles roughly twelve months before the 15 July 2026 reference date, returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the available history the maintenance trend appears stable, as every logged test shows no mechanical or structural advisories. The two failures on 21 June 2024 at 134,160 miles and 12 June 2023 at 115,185 miles both listed no defects, indicating the rejections arose from procedural matters rather than worsening condition. Mileage stands high for a 2016 model, with the odometer reading 145,635 miles against a ten-year lifespan, averaging roughly 14,564 miles per year. The record shows stepped accumulation: from the June 2023 failure at 115,185 miles to the July 2024 pass at 134,672 miles the car covered about 19,487 miles in twelve months, then slowed to 10,963 miles by July 2025. Two tight fail-pass pairs occurred within days and under 600 miles apart, indicating prompt retests. The defect-free entries are sparse but uniformly clean across the three-year span. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of high-mileage wear items despite the absence of logged advisories. The tester recorded no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion issues, yet a Subaru XV at this mileage may harbour undetected fatigue in drivetrain mounts and underbody structure. Previous owners cleared the two pre-pass failures without any defect notes, implying either meticulous rectification or omitted commentary; physical checks of structural integrity, binding calipers, and exhaust emissions remain prudent.
