Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

Based on the records, this 2015 Subaru Outback has covered a significant 135,682 miles by late 2024. This equates to roughly 12,300 miles annually, which is higher than average and suggests the vehicle has been used for regular long-distance travel rather than short trips. The most recent MOT on 2 December 2024 was a clean pass with zero defects or advisories recorded. This is a very positive sign, indicating that any previous issues noted by testers have likely been rectified. Looking back at the history, there is a recurring theme of tyre and brake wear. In April 2024, both rear brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored, though not dangerously weakened. Prior to that, in December 2022, both rear tyres were noted as worn on the inner edges, and front tyres had been worn close to the legal limit in previous years. This pattern of uneven tyre wear, specifically on the inner edges, often points to wheel alignment issues or suspension wear. The overall condition trend appears to be stable and improving. The vehicle moved from having multiple advisories regarding tyres, brakes, and minor lighting faults to a completely clear test result.
