2021 Subaru Outback 2.5L Petrol · YR21 EWB

A clean MOT record across three consecutive annual tests, most recently on 15 April 2026, shows that no defects have been recorded for this 2021 Subaru Outback. The absence of advisories or failures over the past three years suggests the vehicle has consistently met the statutory safety and emissions standards at each test point, with no deterioration evident in the documented inspections. With a recorded mileage of 12,198 mi after roughly five years of age, the average annual accumulation is about 2,440 mi. This is considerably below the typical UK usage pattern for a family SUV and indicates limited wear on high‑frequency components such as brake pads, tyre tread, and suspension bushings. The annual testing cadence also reveals no unexplained gaps in MOT coverage, implying the vehicle has been kept on the road and presented for inspection each year. Even though the MOT history is spotless, a prospective buyer should still verify the condition of wear items that are not automatically flagged by the test. On a test drive, feel for any pulsation or judder through the steering wheel that could hint at tyre or wheel imbalance, and listen for any squeaking or grinding from the brakes when applying moderate pressure. Inspect the tyre tread depth across all four wheels for even wear, and check that the steering returns to centre without excessive play, which would indicate healthy suspension and steering linkages. Finally, confirm the absence of fluid leaks by examining the engine bay and under the chassis for any fresh oil, coolant, or brake fluid deposits, and ensure the exhaust note is steady without rattles that could point to mounting issues. A visual check of the battery terminals for corrosion and a brief idle run to confirm smooth engine operation will round out the assessment before committing to purchase.
