2015 Subaru XV 2.0L Petrol · SV65 AVM

The 2015 Subaru XV has a mixed maintenance record, with the most recent MOT on 2026-04-08 confirming roadworthiness at 70,945 miles. However, the preceding test on 2026-03-31, just 13 days earlier at 70,942 miles, resulted in a failure despite no defects being recorded. This inconsistency suggests potential issues with testing accuracy or underlying mechanical instability. The vehicle has alternated between passing and failing tests since 2024, with no defects noted in the passing results, which may indicate either meticulous maintenance or unrecorded faults. The mileage progression shows a steady annual average of 6,450 miles, aligning with typical usage for its age. The 2024-03-13 test at 61,613 miles was followed by a 3,623-mile jump to 65,236 by 2025-03-13, then a 5,706-mile increase to 70,945 by 2026-04-08. These gaps suggest irregular servicing intervals, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust systems. The absence of corrosion or structural defects in the records is positive, but the lack of detailed fault reports limits insight into potential hidden issues. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension for worn coil springs or binding calipers, as repeated MOT failures without recorded defects may hint at intermittent problems. The braking system, particularly rear disc condition and pedal feel, warrants scrutiny. Electrical systems, including lights and emissions controls, should also be tested, as failures without defects could point to sensor inaccuracies or minor leaks. While the vehicle currently passes, the erratic MOT history necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical integrity.
