2004 Subaru Legacy 2.0L Petrol · OE04 CUW

The vehicle presents a generally stable profile, though the maintenance history shows a shift from reactive repairs to a clean record. The most recent test on April 29, 2022, recorded no defects, suggesting that the previous owner addressed the mechanical depletions and wear identified in earlier inspections. However, because the last MOT is now over four years old, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle is unverified and carries significant risk without a contemporary inspection. Mileage data is sparse in the later years of the vehicle's life. Between November 2015 at 113,016 miles and November 2017 at 124,555 miles, the car covered approximately 5,700 miles per year, indicating relatively low usage. There is no recorded mileage provided for the 2022 test, making it impossible to determine if the vehicle has continued to be driven regularly or has sat stationary. This gap in data prevents an accurate assessment of wear-related degradation on the engine and drivetrain components. A buyer must focus on the chassis and suspension assembly given the findings from the 2017 report. The 2017 test flagged widespread rust across all mechanical components and deteriorated rubber bushes on the front suspension arms and anti-roll bars. While the 2022 test showed no failures, corrosion on a Subaru of this age requires a close inspection of the structural integrity of the sills and mounting points. Additionally, the play in the track rod ends and the condition of the rear brake discs should be verified physically to ensure that the pitting has not progressed since the last recorded faults.
