2014 Subaru XV 2.0L Diesel · NL14 FBY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having achieved a clean pass in its three most recent MOT tests. The most recent inspection conducted on March 11, 2026, at 87,995 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that any issues identified in previous years have been successfully rectified. While a failure was noted in February 2025, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in addressing mechanical or safety faults to maintain legal road standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,333 miles per annum. Between February 2023 at 68,673 miles and March 2024 at 75,087 miles, the car covered roughly 6,400 miles, showing a period of moderate use. The jump of 4,950 miles between February 2025 and March 2026 indicates a slight increase in usage, but the overall low mileage for its age reduces the likelihood of heavy wear on the drivetrain and rubber-based components compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the Subaru's specific drivetrain and suspension geometry, as the MOT history does not highlight recurring advisories for rust. Given the vehicle's age, check for early-stage corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting, which are common points of failure on this model despite low mileage. Since the records are clean, verify the suspension bushings and brake lines for signs of perishing cracking to ensure the lack of recorded defects reflects the actual mechanical condition of the car.
