2015 Subaru Outback 2.0L Diesel · FN65 MFJ

The 2015 Subaru Outback presents a largely stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT conducted on 17 November 2025 at 73,588 miles resulting in a pass. The sole advisory noted a deteriorated rear registration plate, a minor cosmetic concern that did not affect the vehicle's structural integrity or mechanical fitness. The maintenance trend over the past five years shows no serious recurring faults, indicating consistent basic upkeep by the previous keeper. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation pattern typical for a vehicle of this age. Between November 2021 at 36,115 miles and November 2025 at 73,588 miles, the car covered approximately 37,473 miles over four years, averaging just over 9,300 miles annually in the most recent period. This is slightly higher than the long-term average of roughly 6,690 miles per year, suggesting the car has been used more actively in recent years after a quieter earlier life. No significant gaps appear in the annual test record, which supports the view of regular use rather than prolonged standing. The 2024 test at 66,975 miles flagged front brake pads wearing thin, a routine consumable item that would have been addressed to pass the following year's test. No further brake-related advisories appeared in 2025, implying the pads were replaced. Buyers should still inspect the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pads in person, as Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel-drive system can place uneven demands on braking components depending on driving style. Beyond the brake advisory, the record is notably clean for an eleven-year-old vehicle. No suspension, steering, or exhaust emissions defects have been flagged across five consecutive tests. A prospective buyer should still examine the underside for corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and sills, as Subaru Outbacks used in salted winter roads can develop hidden structural rust even when the MOT remains clear. The condition of all four tyres and the operation of the parking brake should also be verified, as these are common wear points on this platform.
