2015 Subaru Outback 2.5L Petrol · CX65 ODU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding deferred brake-related repairs. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 117,216 miles passed, it flagged front brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. This follows a similar advisory from January 2025 at 101,962 miles where both front discs were noted for the same condition. The persistence of this issue suggests the previous owner is monitoring components until the point of failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in the data between the October 2022 test at 65,676 miles and the January 2024 test at 84,502 miles, during which the vehicle covered nearly 19,000 miles. Since then, the accumulation of 32,000 miles over the last two years remains steady, which explains the wear on the Subaru's suspension components and braking system. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front braking system to assess the extent of the pitting on the discs, as the tester has flagged these components in two consecutive years. The offside front inner track rod showed slight play in 2025, requiring a physical check to ensure the steering geometry has not deteriorated further. Given the 2022 advisory regarding uneven rear tyre wear, the alignment and suspension bushings should be verified to ensure that wear hasn't progressed into a structural failure of the arms or bushes.
