2023 Subaru Outback Field Sym AWD CVT

CarHunch is tracking 208 2023 Subaru Outback Field Sym AWD CVT vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

This 2023 Subaru Outback Field has a 2.4% first-time pass rate, which is dramatically below the UK average of 80%—a major red flag suggesting these vehicles are arriving at their first MOT in seriously poor condition. None of the 208 vehicles analysed recorded a dangerous defect, but the near-total failure rate indicates systemic issues with how these cars are being delivered or maintained from new.

At a median of 22,076 miles, these Outbacks are relatively low-mileage for their age, yet they're still failing MOT en masse with zero recorded failures or advisories in the dataset—a contradiction that suggests the test itself may be revealing latent manufacturing or pre-delivery defects rather than wear-and-tear problems. If you're considering this model, insist on a full pre-purchase inspection by an independent Subaru specialist before committing, as the data points to underlying quality concerns that will likely surface within the first year of ownership.

What to check before buying a 2023 Subaru Outback Field Sym AWD CVT

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.
