2023 Subaru Outback Touring SYM AWD CVT 2.5L Petrol · WR23 AEZ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 8th April 2026 with 66,601 miles, but the tester flagged a concerning issue with the front upper strut top bearings mounts, which were noted as half split through. Despite this, the vehicle was deemed roadworthy. However, this recurring advisory suggests a worsening trend in maintenance, as this is the first time this specific fault has been recorded. The recorded mileage of 66,601 miles over approximately three years is notably high, with an average annual mileage of around 22,200 miles. This is significantly higher than average for a vehicle of this age, which may indicate more wear on consumable items, suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. There are no notable gaps or rapid mileage accumulation periods evident from the provided data, suggesting consistent use over the recorded period. Buyers should inspect the vehicle's suspension system, particularly the front upper strut top bearings mounts, as the half-split condition may indicate a risk of structural failure. The front brakes should also be scrutinized, as the tester did not identify any issues, but the rear brakes were flagged as binding in a previous test. Additionally, the vehicle's structural integrity should be assessed for any signs of corrosion, which may have contributed to the bearing mounts' deterioration. In person, buyers should also check for any other signs of wear or damage to the suspension, steering, and braking systems.
