2023 Subaru Outback 2.0L Petrol · AE72 EUO

This 2023 Subaru Outback has covered 38,538 miles in roughly three years, averaging around 12,846 miles per year. That is notably high for a vehicle of this age and suggests either regular long-distance use or frequent commuting. Higher annual mileage typically means accelerated wear on consumables, brakes, suspension components, and the drivetrain, so the condition of these systems warrants close inspection. The most recent MOT in April 2026 flagged front tyres worn close to the legal limit with edge wear on both sides. This is a safety concern that requires immediate attention. Edge wear on both fronts often points to either aggressive cornering, under-inflation, or suspension geometry issues such as misalignment. The fact that this has emerged at 38,538 miles on a relatively young vehicle is worth noting, particularly given the high annual mileage. Looking back at the MOT history, the vehicle passed in April 2025 with a nail embedded in the nearside rear tyre. That puncture was repaired or the tyre replaced, but the reappearance of tyre wear issues just one year later suggests either continued poor tyre maintenance, ongoing suspension or alignment problems, or a pattern of driving that stresses the tyres. The earlier MOT in March 2024 recorded only excessively tinted windows, which is a minor cosmetic and visibility matter.
