2009 Subaru Outback 3.0L Petrol · YT09 VEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean record over the last several years. The most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 109,536 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of clean passes dating back to 2021, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that meets minimum DVSA safety requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-to-moderate annual use, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Between September 2020 and December 2022, the car covered 7,534 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The subsequent 3,021 miles recorded between the December 2022 and June 2025 indicates a slight drop in frequency. This low mileage relative to the age generally reduces wear on the drivetrain components, though it can sometimes increase the risk of rubber components degrading if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components. At 17 years old, this Subaru Outback is prone to corrosion on the rear subframe and sills, which the MOT may not flag until structural thinning becomes significant. The buyer should also check for perished bushings in the control arms and dampers, as these often fail with age regardless of low mileage. Since the record shows no advisories for brakes or tyres, a manual check for fluid leaks or uneven tyre wear is necessary to ensure the system remains as functional as the digital record suggests.
