2020 Subaru Ascent 2.4L Petrol · AE70 CKA

The Subaru Ascent presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 December 2025 at 69,368 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an earlier clean pass on 8 December 2024 at 54,606 miles. Two consecutive annual tests with zero advisories indicates the previous keeper maintained the vehicle to a standard that satisfied DVSA examiners on both occasions. Recorded mileage rose from 54,606 to 69,368 between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests, an annual accumulation of 14,762 miles. That figure sits above the six-year average of 11,561 miles per year implied by the current odometer, suggesting slightly heavier than typical use in the most recent period rather than long standing. The record shows no gaps, with tests spaced almost exactly twelve months apart and no failures or partial retests logged. With no advisories or defects raised across either examination, the history gives no cause to suspect worn suspension bushes, corroded structural members, or failing brake components at the tested mileages. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake disc thickness, coil spring condition, and underbody corrosion, as an MOT pass does not equate to a mechanical survey. The clean record implies conscientious upkeep, but the above-average recent mileage means consumables such as tyres and wiper blades may require earlier renewal than a lower-use example.
