2018 Subaru Outback 2.5L Petrol · B12 PCM

The 2018 Subaru Outback holds a fully roadworthy status on the official record. The most recent MOT on 24 March 2026 at 22,011 miles passed with no defects recorded. Five consecutive tests from 25 August 2022 through 24 March 2026 each returned a pass with zero advisories. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no degradation in suspension, braking, or structural components. Mileage accumulation sits far below typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 11,659 miles at the 25 August 2022 test, crept to 12,374 miles by 21 August 2023, then rose to 12,786 miles on 4 April 2024. Subsequent yearly checks logged 16,691 miles on 27 March 2025 and 22,011 miles on 24 March 2026. This equates to roughly 2,751 miles per annum. The sparse but clean history suggests previous owners exercised light use and likely kept the car garaged, avoiding even minor consumable flags such as tyre wear or wiper degradation. No recurring faults or advisories appear in the DVSA data, so the buyer faces no documented mechanical trends to monitor. A physical inspection should still target components prone to low-mileage deterioration. The tester flagged no binding calipers or corroded suspension bushes across the record, yet prolonged standing can seize brake components and harden rubber bushes unseen during a pass. The buyer should examine brake discs for rust pitting, check coil springs for fracture, and assess underbody structural integrity for hidden corrosion at chassis legs. Previous keepers clearly prioritised conscientious storage and upkeep, evidenced by five untarnished MOT outcomes. The buyer should verify service records for cambelt and fluid replacement, as test passes confirm roadworthiness but not lubrication history. The verdict remains favourable: the Outback is recorded roadworthy, with mechanical risk skewed toward inactivity rather than wear.
