2010 Subaru Legacy 2.5L Petrol · HJ60 UOG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing. The most recent MOT test in November 2023 at 100,003 miles passed without failures, but it noted advisories for cosmetic damage and a cracked rear light lens. While the car has passed its last three tests, the history of suspension bushes and brake wear suggests that components are only addressed once they reach the threshold of failure or significant wear. At 16 years old, the recorded 100,003 miles represent an average annual usage of approximately 6,250 miles, which is consistent with low-mileage patterns. There is a significant gap in data between the October 2022 test at 92,290 miles and the November 2023 test at 100,003 miles, covering nearly 8,000 miles in thirteen months. This suggests consistent but light use, which can lead to gradual degradation of rubber components and seals despite the low overall mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the October 2022 test flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms. Although these were noted as not resulting in excessive movement at that time, the age of the vehicle makes perished rubber likely, which can affect handling and cause uneven tyre wear. Additionally, the 2021 report of thin rear brake pads indicates that the braking system requires regular monitoring, and a check of the current pad thickness and disc condition is necessary to ensure no binding issue has developed.
