2019 Subaru Outback 2.5L Petrol · WO19 YMX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 76,018 miles passed, it introduced advisories for worn anti-roll bar pins and bushes on both rear sides. This represents a progression from the significant failure in 2024, suggesting that suspension components are now actively degrading and are only being addressed once they reach a point of near-failure. At 76,018 miles over seven years, the Subaru Outback has averaged approximately 10,860 miles per annum, which aligns with national averages for a family vehicle. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with intervals of roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles between annual tests. However, the gap in August 2024 at 66,245 miles reveals a period where multiple consumables were neglected simultaneously, leading to a failure involving tyres, brake pads, and discs just days before the scheduled inspection. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension geometry given the recurring issues recorded. The 2024 failure saw the tester flag front brake pads at the wear indicator and rear pads below 1.5mm, alongside worn front discs. Because the tyres were noted as worn on the edges in 2023 and 2024, a professional alignment check is essential to rule out faulty suspension geometry. The current advisories on the rear anti-roll bar bushes indicate that rubber components are beginning to perish or develop play, which will eventually lead to sloppy handling and accelerated tyre wear if not replaced soon.
