2009 Subaru Legacy 2.0L Diesel · BF59 OAW

The vehicle failed its MOT on 2022-10-13 but passed on the subsequent test on 2022-10-14, indicating a trend of minor issues that were resolved promptly. However, the recurring problems with anti-roll bar ball joints suggest ongoing wear that may require attention. The vehicle's mileage of 124,361 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 7,315 miles per year, which is within the expected range for a car of this age. Notably, there is a significant gap between the 2020-10-03 test at 105,966 miles and the 2021-09-30 test at 113,518 miles, suggesting a period of higher usage or neglect. The most recent tests in 2022 indicate a return to regular service intervals. Buyers should inspect the anti-roll bar ball joints for signs of excessive wear or play, as these components are critical for handling and stability. Additionally, the steering rack inner joint should be checked for any unusual play, which could affect steering precision. The windscreen damage noted in previous tests should also be evaluated to ensure it does not compromise the driver's view.
