2019 Subaru XV 2.0L Petrol · CP19 UGE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with a clean pass in its most recent MOT on 6 August 2025 at 60,165 miles, just ten months ago. The only advisory noted was wear on the rear anti-roll bar bushes, a common and non-critical issue that does not compromise safety or handling significantly. This is the first defect recorded in four consecutive passes, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no signs of accelerating deterioration. The mileage progression is consistent with average annual use for a vehicle of this age—roughly 8,600 miles per year—spanning from 27,315 miles in July 2022 to 60,165 miles today. There are no gaps exceeding twelve months between tests, and no sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest heavy or irregular use. The absence of defects in the three prior tests through 2024 confirms regular, routine servicing and no hidden neglect. A buyer should inspect the rear anti-roll bar bushes in person, as their wear may have progressed since the August 2025 test and could result in clunking or loose handling over bumps. While not an immediate failure risk, replacement is likely needed soon. Also verify the condition of the rear brake components, as wear on suspension elements often coincides with increased stress on braking systems. Check for any signs of corrosion around the wheel arches, sills, or underbody, especially if the vehicle has been driven in wet or salty conditions, as Subarus are prone to rust in these areas despite the clean MOT record. The tyres and exhaust should also be examined for age-related degradation, even if they passed the last test.
