2015 Subaru XV: 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 78% pass first time (all 2015 cars: 74%) Stands out: suspension arm bushes and joints 3.1× 956 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 75% pass first time (all 2015 cars: 74%) Stands out: suspension arm bushes and joints 3.7×, ball joint 3×, anti-roll bar bushes and joints 15.3× 936 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

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