2021 Subaru Outback 2.5L Petrol · SJ21 AVX

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 19 February 2026 at 26,659 miles resulted in no defects recorded, maintaining a stable trend across the previous three years. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical failure or structural degradation detectable during annual inspections. The mileage pattern is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,332 miles annually. Between the February 2024 test at 16,710 miles and the February 2025 test at 23,060 miles, the car covered 6,350 miles, followed by another 3,599 miles in the final year. This low-frequency usage indicates light travel, which typically results in less wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and brake components compared to high-mileage fleet vehicles. While the MOT record shows no advisories or faults, an in-person inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. A buyer should check for signs of dry rot in rubber components, such as tyres and suspension bushes, which can perish when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. It is also prudent to verify that the brake calipers have not seized due to lack of use and to inspect fluid levels for moisture contamination, as the MOT does not detect internal fluid degradation or minor leaks.
