2013 Subaru XV 2.0L Diesel · PX13 NEN

The vehicle has a typical mileage for its age, averaging roughly 9,277 miles per year. This suggests consistent use rather than extreme hard wear or long periods of standing, meaning drivetrain and suspension components have experienced standard age-related degradation. The most recent MOT on May 22, 2026, resulted in a pass, but it highlighted several significant concerns. There are advisories for perished suspension arm bushes on both the nearside and offside front, as well as corrosion on the front brake pipes leading to the rear on both sides. The overall condition trend appears to be worsening. Between 2023 and 2025, the MOT history was relatively clean, with only minor issues like tyre cracking and headlamp alignment. The sudden appearance of multiple chassis-related advisories in 2026 indicates that rubber components are failing and corrosion is becoming a factor. The primary risk pattern is the deterioration of the underbody and suspension. Perished bushes and corroded brake lines are safety-critical items that will eventually require replacement to pass future tests. A buyer should first inspect the underbody and wheel arches for further signs of rust.
