2011 Subaru Legacy: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 70% pass first time (all 2011 cars: 62%) Stands out: anti-roll bar bushes and joints 12.2×, steering rack inner joints 3.6×, exhaust emissions (catalyst) 5.6× 696 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 61% pass first time (all 2011 cars: 62%) Stands out: suspension arm bushes and joints 2×, sidelights 2.6×, anti-roll bar bushes and joints 14.8× 610 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
