Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2017 model year cars.
- Lineartronic CVT Valve Body / Solenoid FailureSerious
The BS Outback can develop internal valve body solenoid faults, causing jerky progress, warning lights and expensive dealer recommendations for full transmission replacement.
- Front Control Arm Bushing WearModerate
Heavy BS Outbacks chew through the front lower arm bushes, which can make the steering feel loose and lead to repeated tyre wear problems.
- DPF and EGR BlockageModerate
Late diesel BS cars often respond badly to repeated short journeys, leading to blocked DPFs, EGR trouble and recurring limp-mode complaints.
