2021 Subaru Levorg 2.0L Petrol · BK71 DOU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2026-05-08 at 48,566 miles, but the trend shows a clear and progressive deterioration in key wear items—particularly brakes and suspension components. The 2026 test recorded worn rear anti-roll bar bushes, front brake discs nearing service limits, and front pads wearing thin; these are not isolated failures but represent an escalation from earlier advisories, indicating that consumable and structural wear is now entering a phase requiring proactive intervention rather than passive monitoring. Mileage accumulation has been steady and consistent: 5,223 miles between May 2025 and May 2026, 5,450 miles between May 2024 and May 2025, and 37,893 miles by May 2024—suggesting the first two years saw slightly higher annual use before settling into a more typical 5,200–5,500 mile/year pattern. There are no unexplained gaps or spikes; the record is complete across three consecutive annual tests with no missed MOTs, supporting a picture of regular, documented use without prolonged storage or sudden intensive operation. A buyer must inspect the front brake system thoroughly—discs, pads, and calipers—for signs of uneven wear, binding, or corrosion, as repeated advisories point to developing inefficiency. The rear anti-roll bar assembly requires close examination for play, cracking, or perished rubber bushes, which can affect stability and tyre wear. Tyres should be checked for edge wear patterns matching the 2025 advisories, as this may indicate underlying alignment or suspension geometry issues—notably worn control arm bushes or ball joints—that were not yet severe enough to fail in 2025 but could now be contributing to the 2026 suspension advisory. No structural corrosion or chassis defects appear in the record, but visual inspection of wheel arches, sills, and subframe mounts remains essential given the vehicle’s age and UK exposure.
