2013 Subaru XV 1.6L Petrol · FN13 JFZ

The Subaru XV presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 September 2025 at 85,821 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this clean result follows four consecutive annual passes with zero advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition across the available five-year record. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 5,770 miles across the recorded period, below the 6,602 miles per year lifetime average for the vehicle's age. The tester logged 62,739 miles in September 2021, 68,329 in September 2022, 74,132 in September 2023, 79,118 in September 2024, and 85,821 in September 2025. The increments stay tight and consistent at around 5,400 to 6,000 miles each year, with no gaps or sudden accumulation that would suggest neglected storage or hard use. The DVSA history is sparse in faults but clean throughout. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's 2013 build date and thirteen years of age. No advisories flagged corrosion or exhaust emissions issues, yet structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants physical checks for road salt damage. The previous owner clearly kept up with basic statutory testing, but a clean MOT sheet does not confirm consumable condition between tests. Given the absence of recorded defects, the mechanical risk centres on age-related wear not yet severe enough to fail a test. Tyres, wiper blades, and fluid intervals remain outside MOT scope and should be verified on viewing. The Subaru's low-stress mileage pattern implies light commuting use rather than rough terrain abuse.
