2018 Subaru XV 1.6L Petrol · FE68 YKF

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy condition, showing a stable maintenance trend despite minor recurring consumable advisories. The most recent test in October 2025 at 51,903 miles resulted in a pass despite a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This indicates a potential minor alignment issue or uneven wear rather than a mechanical failure, yet the vehicle cleared the test without any major defects in structural or braking components. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year over the eight-year period. Between November 2021 at 23,471 miles and October 2024 at 42,956 miles, the car covered 19,485 miles, representing a steady rate of use. The clean records found between 2021 and 2023 suggest the vehicle was well-maintained during low-usage intervals, which typically preserves the integrity of the all-wheel drive system and suspension bushings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyre condition and alignment, given the 2024 advisory for a perished offside front tyre and the 2025 advisory for uneven nearside rear wear. The recurring nature of tyre-related notes suggests a check of the suspension geometry is necessary to prevent premature tyre replacement. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or brake binding issues, a manual check of the undercarriage for rust remains standard practice to ensure the low mileage has not masked hidden degradation from long periods of standing.
