2019 Subaru Outback 2.5L Petrol · BN69 SHX

The most recent MOT (18 Sep 2025) was passed, but it flagged a number of wear‑related items. All four brake discs are recorded as “worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened”, and the rear tyres are noted as slightly damaged or cracking and already close to the legal tread limit. The pattern across the four years shows a clear progression in wear. In 2022 the only brake comment was “front discs worn, but not excessively”. By 2024 rear brake pads were already “wearing thin”, and by 2025 all four discs carry the same pitted‑disc comment. Tyre wear has also accelerated: in 2024 every tyre was described as “worn close to legal limit”, and in 2025 the rear tyres are now listed as “slightly damaged/cracking” and still close to the limit. Low oil level was noted in three of the four MOTs, indicating a recurring maintenance issue. Overall the trend is worsening rather than stable. The brake discs are approaching the point where replacement may be needed, and the tyres are at the end of their service life. The vehicle’s mileage – 49,582 mi over about seven years (≈7,000 mi yr⁻¹) – is typical for a UK car of this age.
