2012 Subaru Outback 2.5L Petrol · AD61 WFB

The most recent MOT entry dates from 8 September 2021 at 87,372 miles, where the vehicle recorded a pass and a simultaneous fail with no defects listed. This contradictory pair of outcomes at identical mileage points to an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance trend cannot be assessed as stable, worsening, or improving beyond that date, as no further tests appear on record in the nearly five years since. The odometer stood at 87,372 miles at the 2021 test, equating to roughly 6,241 miles per year across the vehicle's fourteen years. This figure sits within typical use for a 2012 Subaru Outback. The record shows no earlier entries and no tests after September 2021, leaving a substantial gap that prevents evaluation of wear accumulation or standing periods in the intervening years. A buyer should commission a fresh MOT and independent inspection before purchase. The absence of advisories in 2021 does not certify current condition. Subaru Outbacks of this generation commonly develop corrosion at structural mounting points and wear in suspension bushes and rear coil springs; these items require physical checks now. Given the 2021 fail carried no recorded defects, the DVSA entry likely reflects a processing error. Verify the vehicle's true test status via the government portal. Treat the 87,372-mile figure as the last known reading only, and budget for consumables and a thorough underbody assessment regardless of the clean historical line.
