Inspection watchouts & mechanical notes

Commonly reported on the Subaru Levorg: worth checking on the auction sheet, the inspection report or the service history before you bid.

  • Wear on the all-wheel-drive system

    What to check: Inspect the auction sheet for any notes on drivetrain issues and check for unusual noises during the physical inspection.

  • Rust around the wheel arches and lower body

    What to check: Review the auction sheet's rust grade and request close-up photos of the underbody and wheel arches, especially for cars from snowy regions.

  • Odometer consistency

    What to check: Cross-reference the odometer reading on the export certificate with the auction sheet and any available service records.

  • Tyre and brake wear

    What to check: Check the remaining tread depth and brake pad thickness during the physical inspection, as performance use can accelerate wear.
