2019 Subaru Crosstrek 2.2L Petrol · AD68 LPX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 85,661 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior at the same mileage. This pattern indicates the owner only addresses mechanical defects when forced to by the MOT tester. The overall trend for the braking system is worsening, as issues have progressed from thin pads in 2025 to worn pads and discs in the latest testing interval. At 85,661 miles over seven years, the Subaru has averaged approximately 12,200 miles per year. This is above the national average for a passenger car and places consistent demand on mechanical components. The data shows a steady usage pattern, with 14,000 miles covered between March 2024 and April 2025, and another 17,700 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This high annual mileage accelerates the wear on consumables and puts stress on the suspension and drivetrain components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking assembly, as the recurring failures for thin pads and worn discs suggest the system is being neglected. The 2025 failure also highlighted front inner tyres worn on the edge, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed. Additionally, the tyre pressure monitoring system reported as malfunctioning in 2025 should be verified to ensure it is now functional. Given the high mileage and the history of deferred maintenance, a professional check for excessive wear on the shocks and suspension bushings is essential before purchase.
