2018 Subaru Outback 2.5L Petrol · AF18 FHT

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is unsafe for driving, as the MOT record demonstrates a clear deterioration of mechanical integrity following the March 2026 test. While the 2026-03-13 test passed with 59,219 miles, the subsequent March 2026 test failed at 59,130 miles, indicating that the under tray obscuring components and the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) malfunctioned. This failure occurred immediately after the passing test, suggesting that the vehicle is currently on the verge of catastrophic failure due to the combined wear on the under tray and TPMS. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has experienced a significant acceleration of miles per year over the past two years, dropping from 59,219 to 51,518 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. This rapid increase in mileage, particularly the jump from 56,640 to 51,518, suggests that the vehicle has been driven at a speed that has exceeded its design limits for the last two years, leading to accelerated wear on critical components such as the suspension bushings and brake discs. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify specific mechanical risks, including the binding rear brakes and the structural integrity of the under tray. Given the history of the TPMS and under tray, the vehicle is at high risk of a sudden brake failure if the tyres are not properly maintained. The lack of any recorded repairs or maintenance history for the last 18 months confirms that the vehicle has been neglected, which has allowed these wear items to fail under the heavy loads imposed by the accelerated mileage.
