About This Data

The 2011 Subaru Legacy Es Nav has an MOT pass rate of 88.5% based on 52 tests — well above the UK average for UK vehicles. Cars of this vintage present for MOT with an average of 61,919 miles on the odometer. With a 11.5% failure rate, the 2011 Legacy Es Nav is rated as "Excellent" for MOT reliability.

If you own or are considering buying a 2011 Subaru Legacy Es Nav, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to tyres: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating. At 61,919 average miles, these vehicles are in the mid-range where component wear starts to become a factor.

Tyres — 7.7% of failures

Tyres issues account for 7.7% of MOT failures on 2011 Subaru Legacy Es Nav models. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures. Typical repair costs: £50–200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.

Noise, emissions and leaks — 3.8% of failures

Noise, emissions and leaks issues account for 3.8% of MOT failures on 2011 Subaru Legacy Es Nav models. Emissions failures occur when exhaust gases exceed legal limits for carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), or particulate matter (diesel). Common causes include faulty oxygen sensors, clogged catalytic converters, or DPF issues on diesel vehicles. Typical repair costs: £100–1,000+. Pre-MOT check: If the engine management light is on, get it diagnosed before the MOT. For diesel cars, ensure the DPF has completed a regeneration cycle. Regular servicing and using premium fuel before the test can help.
