2009 Subaru Legacy 2.5L Petrol · PX59 XFN

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent MOT test conducted in September 2025 at 150,545 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This streak of clean results suggests the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety issues before they resulted in failures, maintaining a consistent standard of care throughout the inspection period. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,856 miles per year over its 17-year life. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the car covered 12,597 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 3,150 miles annually. This low annual mileage reduces the likelihood of excessive wear on the drivetrain components and engine internals, though it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluids due to stationary periods. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components prone to age-related wear on a Subaru Legacy. Focus attention on the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly along the sills and wheel arches, as these areas often hide rust during MOT tests. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue, as the low mileage does not prevent rubber from becoming brittle over time. Additionally, check the brake calipers for binding or seized pistons, as infrequent use can sometimes lead to corrosion buildup on the discs.
