2015 Subaru XV 2.0L Diesel · SV15 ABK

This 2015 Subaru XV shows a concerning decline in maintenance standards as it has aged. While the vehicle has covered a low average of roughly 5,500 miles per year, the most recent MOT from August 2025 reveals a cluster of neglected maintenance items that suggest the car has not been well-serviced recently. The trend is clearly worsening. After three consecutive years of clean MOT passes between 2019 and 2021, the 2022 test flagged suspension bush wear and brake disc issues. By 2025, the list of advisories grew significantly, including thin brake pads, marginal parking brake efficiency, tyre wear, an insecure battery, and a reported oil leak. The presence of surface corrosion on the rear underbody and suspension suggests the vehicle may have spent significant time sitting idle or in damp conditions, which is common with low-mileage examples. The low mileage is a double-edged sword here. While the drivetrain may have seen less stress than a high-mileage equivalent, the lack of consistent mechanical attention is a red flag. The current condition indicates that the car is likely due for a comprehensive service and immediate remedial work on the braking and suspension systems. Before purchasing, you must inspect the brake discs and pads to determine if they require immediate replacement.
