2007 Subaru Legacy 2.0L Petrol · CF57 RJZ

The 2007 Subaru Legacy currently holds a valid MOT following a clean pass on 3 November 2025. The maintenance trend over the past three years is stable and improving, showing a clear resolution of previous mechanical advisories. The vehicle passed its last two annual tests without a single defect recorded, indicating that earlier wear issues were properly addressed and the car has been kept in a compliant state. At 136,156 miles, the odometer reading aligns well with the car's nineteen-year age, averaging roughly 7,166 miles annually. The recorded mileage progression is consistent and free of suspicious gaps. The vehicle accumulated 11,661 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, 11,661 miles between 2024 and 2025, and 8,174 miles between 2021 and 2022. This steady, predictable accumulation suggests regular everyday use rather than neglected storage or excessive motorway cruising. A physical inspection should focus on the recurring suspension and braking faults highlighted in the 2021 and 2023 records. The tester flagged worn front suspension arm rear bushes and deteriorated ball joint dust covers, alongside front tyres wearing heavily on their inner edges. These symptoms point to alignment or tracking issues that likely accelerated tyre wear and stressed suspension components. Check the brake system thoroughly, as the 2023 test noted heavily corroded front discs, low front and rear pads, and corroded rear discs. While replacing consumables is standard, extensive inner-face corrosion often stems from prolonged periods of low usage or exposure to moisture. Inspect the underbody and structural mounting points for rust, and verify that the front tracking is correctly set to prevent premature wear on any new tyres.
