2016 Subaru XV 2.0L Diesel · CX66 PCV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-09-09 at 68,384 miles recorded a failure with no defects noted, suggesting an unresolved issue or administrative error. Previous tests from 2023 to 2021 showed consistent passes with no recorded faults, indicating a stable maintenance history. However, the lack of subsequent testing beyond 2024 raises concerns about the vehicle’s current roadworthiness, as it has exceeded the standard one-year MOT cycle by over 18 months. Mileage progression aligns with average annual usage, rising from 38,032 miles in 2021 to 68,384 in 2024, a steady increase of approximately 10,000 miles per year. MOT tests were conducted annually, with no significant gaps or spikes in mileage. This pattern suggests regular use but no extreme wear from prolonged inactivity or excessive driving. The absence of recurring defects in prior records implies no systemic mechanical issues, though the 2024 failure without recorded faults complicates this assessment. A buyer should verify the current MOT status and inspect for signs of undetected issues flagged in the 2024 test. Focus on suspension components, such as worn bushes or coil springs, and check brake systems for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as these are common wear points in vehicles of this age. Structural corrosion or exhaust emissions should also be evaluated, as they may not appear in MOT records if minor. The lack of prior defects does not eliminate risks, particularly given the gap in testing.
