2006 Subaru Outback 2.5L Petrol · AY56 ZYV

The 2025‑11‑15 MOT at 196,317 miles confirms the 2006 Subaru Outback is presently roadworthy, with no defects recorded and a maintenance history that shows no worsening or improving trends. The series of tests from 2022 onward has been uniformly passed, indicating stable care. Mileage has climbed from 189,678 miles in October 2022 to 196,317 miles in November 2025, a gain of roughly 6,639 miles over three years, or about 2,200 miles per year, which is consistent with the vehicle’s age and typical annual usage. The only irregularity is the failed test on 2024‑10‑23 that recorded the same mileage as the following pass, suggesting a minor issue corrected before retest. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brakes are not binding and that the brake discs show even wear, and examine the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust or corrosion that could affect integrity. Tyre tread depth, wiper condition and fluid levels are also prudent checks, but the MOT record shows no systemic mechanical failures, so focus remains on component wear and hidden corrosion.
