Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage for its age. While the most recent MOT was a clean pass, the vehicle's usage patterns warrant a thorough mechanical inspection.
Given the high mileage of 122,483 miles on a seven-year-old vehicle, your primary focus should be on the service history. You must verify if the major service intervals required for a 2.0L Subaru engine have been met, particularly regarding timing components and fluids.
Negotiate based on the high annual mileage, which is roughly 17,500 miles per year—nearly triple the model average. Check for signs of heavy wear in the interior, specifically the driver's seat bolster and pedal rubbers, which often reflect high usage levels.
Running costs for this 1990cc petrol Legacy will be moderate. You should expect typical insurance groups for a mid-sized estate and standard UK fuel economy for a naturally aspirated petrol engine of this displacement.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the mileage. While the MOT history doesn't show specific component failures, the high mileage suggests that consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension components may require more frequent attention.
While the most recent MOT pass in February 2026 recorded no defects, the vehicle did fail an MOT just two weeks prior at 122,453 miles. Although the specific defect wasn't listed in the summary, you should inspect the braking system and lighting, as these are common failure points for this model aggregate.
Additionally, check the exhaust system and windscreen wipers. According to aggregate data for the Subaru Legacy, these are among the top reasons for MOT failures. Given the high mileage, also inspect the suspension bushings and drive belts for signs of age-related wear.
This 2019 Subaru Legacy features a 1990cc petrol engine and has covered 122,483 miles as of February 2026. This mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,259 miles per year. The MOT history shows a mix of passes and failures, including a recent failure in February 2026 that was resolved shortly after.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 74.9% average MOT pass rate, suggesting common areas for maintenance needs.
