2019 Subaru Outback 2.5L Petrol · 6 BBY

The 2019 Subaru Outback currently presents a sound roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 2026-01-29 at 52,564 miles with zero defects. This clean result indicates a resolving maintenance trend regarding its historical weaknesses. Between 2023 and 2025, the tester repeatedly flagged cracking and edge wear across all four tyres, but the January 2026 pass demonstrates these consumable items have been addressed. A clean bill of health on the latest test confirms the vehicle meets minimum safety standards right now. Accumulating 52,564 miles over seven years yields an average annual mileage of roughly 7,509 miles, which sits comfortably within typical usage for this age. The mileage progression shows consistent accumulation, with a notable uptick in the last recorded year. The odometer read 43,068 miles in January 2025 and jumped to 52,564 miles by January 2026, representing a 9,496-mile increase over twelve months. This suggests the vehicle saw heavier recent use after a period of lighter driving, though it remains well within normal parameters for a mid-size estate. Despite the clean 2026 result, the recurring tyre defects documented between 2022 and 2025 warrant a thorough physical inspection. The tester flagged cracking sidewalls and worn inner edges on both front tyres in January 2025 at 43,068 miles, alongside similar perishing on the rear tyres in January 2024 at 36,501 miles and January 2023 at 27,991 miles. Persistent inner edge wear and sidewall cracking across all four corners often point to prolonged under-inflation, neglected tracking, or worn suspension bushes. A buyer must inspect the current tyre manufacture dates to confirm if new rubber was fitted for the 2026 test, and closely examine the inner sidewalls for renewed uneven wear that could indicate underlying alignment faults.
