Subaru Outback Touring Sym AWD CVT (2023)
2023 Subaru Outback Touring Sym AWD CVT
CarHunch is tracking 466 2023 Subaru Outback Touring 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 is failing its MOT at an alarming rate — only 1.8% pass on the first attempt versus the UK average of 80% — though the silver lining is that none of the 466 vehicles analysed have recorded a dangerous defect. The extraordinarily low pass rate suggests either systemic build quality issues, a batch problem, or possibly that these vehicles are being tested under unusual conditions, making this a genuine red flag for any prospective buyer.
With a median mileage of just 32,264 miles for a 2023 model, these are young cars, yet they're still accumulating failures that shouldn't exist at this age and mileage. Before committing to one, have an independent pre-purchase inspection carried out by a specialist Subaru mechanic to identify exactly what's breaking and whether it's a known factory issue that Subaru will address under warranty.
We have 466 2023 Subaru Outback Touring Sym AWD CVT vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2023 Subaru Outback Touring 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.
