2015 Subaru XV 2.0L Diesel · SN65 LFY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2023 at 46,392 miles, with only minor corrosion noted on the offside front brake disc. The overall trend in mechanical condition appears stable, with no critical failures or progressive degradation observed across the five-year MOT history. Braking system issues have recurred but were addressed in time for each test, indicating routine attention to defects without evidence of chronic neglect or systemic failure. The recorded mileage of 46,392 over 11 years equates to an average of around 4,217 miles per year, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. Long periods of inactivity may contribute to component degradation such as brake corrosion or rubber deterioration, even if usage itself has been light. There are no significant gaps in the MOT record, and the consistent annual testing supports confidence that the vehicle was maintained within legal standards throughout its life. Brake wear has been the primary concern across multiple tests, beginning with scoring on both front discs in March 2020 at 19,284 miles and progressing to thin rear pads and worn discs by February 2022 at 33,129 miles. Most recently, internal disc corrosion was cited, suggesting possible moisture ingress or extended parking. Buyers should inspect the condition of all brake discs and pads, particularly the rear axle where wear was previously noted. Check caliper mobility and look for signs of binding or uneven pad contact. Given the age and mileage pattern, verify the condition of suspension bushes, steering components, and exhaust mountings during any physical inspection. Rust or perforation in brake discs should be ruled out before purchase.
