Subaru Levorg (2021)

119 real MOT outcomes analysed • 92.3% first-time pass rate

2021 Subaru Levorg

CarHunch analysed 119 real MOT records for the 2021 Subaru Levorg. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2021 Subaru Levorg is a significantly more reliable proposition than the UK average, with a 92.3% first-time pass rate against the typical 80%, and only 7.6% of vehicles ever registering a dangerous defect—well below the threshold for concern. This is a genuinely clean bill of health for a car of this age.

With a median mileage of just 29,374 miles, these are lightly used examples, which partly explains the strong MOT performance, though the 0.24 average failures per vehicle still points to solid engineering. The 1.4 advisories per car suggest routine maintenance items rather than systemic issues, so when you're evaluating a used example, focus your inspection on the specific advisories flagged rather than worrying about the model's inherent durability.

What to check before buying a 2021 Subaru Levorg

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
