2023 Subaru Outback Field SYM AWD CVT 2.5L Petrol · SK23 ADO

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent test on March 20, 2026, but the data indicates a trend of deferred braking system maintenance. While the car passed the inspection, the tester flagged multiple defects regarding the rear assembly that require immediate attention. The presence of thin pads and degraded discs suggests the previous owner is reacting to failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At a recorded mileage of 27,271 miles over approximately three years, the Subaru has averaged roughly 9,100 miles per year. This usage pattern aligns with typical national averages for a family estate and suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive high-mile stress. The time interval between the last MOT and the current date is only three months, meaning the mechanical state reported in March remains a highly accurate representation of the vehicle's current condition. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the rear braking system, as the March test noted pads at approximately 3mm and discs that are pitted or scored. These conditions indicate that the rear brake assembly needs a full replacement to ensure effective stopping and to prevent further damage. The recorded oil leak from the same test also warrants close scrutiny; although the tester deemed it non-excessive, a technician should verify whether the source is an engine seal or a sump gasket to ensure the leak does not worsen over time.
