2019 Subaru Levorg 2.0L Petrol · WM19 YVG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in July 2025 at 25,575 miles resulted in a pass only three days after a failure involving multiple defects including a failed rear fog lamp, rapid indicator flashing, and split windscreen wipers. While the immediate safety failures were rectified, the presence of taped mirror covers and cut tyre sidewalls suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical and cosmetic issues when they threatened the vehicle's certification. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,654 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the jump from 11,313 miles in July 2022 to 25,575 miles in July 2025. However, this lack of use has led to specific age-related rubber degradation. In July 2023 at 16,131 miles, all four tyres were flagged for sidewall cracking and perishing, a condition that persisted into 2024 with continued perishing on the offside tyres. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and rubber components. The tester noted light misting of oil on both rear shock absorbers in 2023, which should be monitored for increased leakage that could indicate imminent seal failure. Furthermore, the buckled inner side of the nearside front wheel recorded in June 2024 indicates a significant impact; the buyer should verify the wheel alignment and check for any hidden damage to the steering geometry or suspension arms. Given the history of perished tyres and cut sidewalls, the age of the current tyres should be checked for dry rot regardless of the remaining tread depth.
