2018 Subaru XV 2.0L Petrol · DY68 EPL

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test in March 2026 at 51,425 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced an advisory for an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This indicates a minor lapse in consumable maintenance rather than a mechanical failure, as the previous three annual tests returned clean-sheet results with no recorded defects. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between the March 2025 test at 35,801 miles and the 2026 test at 51,425 miles, covering over 15,000 miles in just twelve months. Despite this recent period of activity, the overall mileage remains low for the age, which generally suggests less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components of the Subaru compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry in person to determine if the edge wear on the offside tyre is caused by a tracking issue or worn suspension bushes. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or brake failures, the low annual mileage in earlier years warrants a check of rubber components and fluid degradation that may have aged over time. Given the clean history prior to this year, the vehicle appears to have been well-kept by its previous owners.
