2017 Subaru XV 2.0L Diesel · FN67 OOJ

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 23 July 2025 at 44,307 miles resulted in a pass with a single advisory regarding the nearside rear tyre. Prior to this, the vehicle achieved three consecutive clean MOT records between 2022 and 2024, indicating that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable operating parameters. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 26,174 miles and July 2025 at 44,307 miles, the car covered only 18,133 miles, suggesting infrequent annual use. This low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components, though the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or seizing of brake components if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres, as the 2025 advisory for a nearside rear tyre at 3mm with uneven edge wear suggests a potential alignment issue or a worn suspension bush. Given the low mileage, it is also prudent to check for surface corrosion on brake discs and ensure the calipers are not binding, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from brake rust. The history shows no recurring structural corrosion or mechanical failures, which is a positive indicator for a Subaru of this age, but the focus remains on signs of age-related neglect rather than high-mileage fatigue.
