2009 Subaru Outback 2.5L Petrol · WF59 JRO

The most recent MOT, dated March 2026, passed with a noted issue concerning rear sub-frame corrosion and worn suspension arm pins or bushes on both the front and offside rear. The recurring mechanical pattern shows that suspension components, specifically pins and bushes, have been noted as worn across multiple inspections, with advice given to replace them before excessive movement occurs. The condition trend appears stable, as the vehicle has passed successive MOTs with noted wear items, but no major failures have been recorded between the checks. The mileage of 126,074 miles for a vehicle of this age suggests typical usage, although it is high enough that wear on consumables, suspension, and drivetrain components is expected. A buyer should first inspect the suspension components mentioned in the MOT history closely, paying particular attention to the front and rear suspension arm pins and bushes to assess the extent of wear. Secondly, given the noted rear sub-frame corrosion, a thorough visual inspection of the rear area for signs of structural weakness is essential. Finally, check the offside registration plate lamp to confirm it is functioning correctly as noted in the most recent report.
