2016 Subaru Levorg 1.6L Petrol · FA16 WNL

The 2016 Subaru Levorg presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 24 October 2025 at 23,328 miles with zero defects recorded. That is a strong result. The vehicle has moved from a pattern of recurring advisories in earlier years to a fully defect-free most recent test, suggesting the last keeper addressed the tyre and suspension issues that previously appeared. No new mechanical or structural faults have emerged since 2022, which is encouraging for a car of this age. The mileage profile is notably low. Across roughly ten years the car has covered 23,328 miles, averaging approximately 2,333 miles per year. The annual increments between tests are consistent and modest: 1,661 miles between November 2021 and October 2022, 2,162 miles between October 2022 and November 2023, 1,816 miles between November 2023 and November 2024, and 2,606 miles between November 2024 and October 2025. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record. The 2025 test was conducted just eight months ago relative to today's date of 18 June 2026, so the MOT certificate remains current and the vehicle's condition should be broadly unchanged assuming normal use since then. The advisory history centres on two areas worth inspecting in person. Front lower suspension arm pin or bush wear was flagged in the October 2022 test at 16,744 miles. Although this did not reappear in subsequent tests, a buyer should still check for play in the front suspension bushes and arm joints, as these components can deteriorate again over time, particularly on a car that may have spent long periods stationary. Cracking and perishing tyres were noted across multiple tests from 2021 through 2023, affecting all four corners. The clean 2025 result implies replacement, but verifying the date codes and condition of the current tyres remains prudent. Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel-drive system is sensitive to mismatched tyre sizes and tread depths, so even wear across the set matters. Beyond the flagged items, a prospective buyer should examine the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake lines, as low-mileage vehicles that stand for extended periods can develop surface rust that becomes structurally significant over time. Brake discs and pads should be checked for uneven wear or binding, given the car's light usage pattern. The exhaust system and catalytic converter condition also warrant attention, as short-journey use can accelerate internal corrosion and emissions component degradation. Overall, the record points to a well-maintained example with a clean recent test, but the low annual mileage means condition-based inspection remains essential.
