2007 Subaru Legacy 2.0L Petrol · BA07 DOG

The Subaru Legacy presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 8 August 2025 at 104,566 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 12 August 2024 test at 101,577 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the supplied history, indicating consistent compliance with minimum test standards over the last three years. At roughly 19 years old the car has covered 104,566 miles, an average of about 5,503 miles per year, which is low for its age and suggests either light use or extended periods off the road. The records show modest annual accumulation: 98,010 miles in June 2023, 101,351 and 101,577 across July and August 2024, and 104,566 by August 2025. Two failed tests appear on 7 June 2023 and 19 July 2024 at identical or near-identical mileages to the subsequent passes, with no defects listed; this points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical non-compliance. The sparse, clean record gives little basis to infer neglected upkeep. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, particularly beneath the sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as a 2007 vehicle can hide rust not captured by a pass with no advisories. The low mileage and clean tests mean suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs have likely seen limited stress, but standing time can degrade tyres, seals, and brake calipers through lack of use. Verify the two anomaly fails were clerical and confirm the car has not been idle long enough to warrant fluid changes and a thorough underbody check before purchase.
