Check out real-world situations relating to the Subaru Outback 2007 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

• Should I buy a 2003 - 2007 Outback?

  Generally, the Outback is a good solid car, well designed and built. My only concern is the age of the cars you’re looking at. While the Outback is a good car all cars deteriorate as they age, so it’s vital when buying an old car to have it thoroughly checked by a mechanic who knows his way round the brand. It’s also best to look for a car that hasn’t been used off-road.

• Subaru Outback bearings

  I reckon you're quite justified in claiming against Subaru given the relatively low kays you're done.

• Subaru Outback fault code

  First, you need to have it checked out to find out exactly what is wrong, there’s no point in guessing. The cost of catalytic converters, particularly genuine factory ones, is very high and the cost you quote doesn’t surprise me, but it is possible to source non-factory parts and they work just fine at a fraction of the cost. I would also suggest you take it to an independent Subaru mechanic to have it checked. They will have the clues on replacement converters if that is indeed what you need.

• Warranty on Outback clutch

  Clutches are considered wear and tear items; they wear out. It’s really a matter of whether they have a reasonable life span or not. Yours has done 90,000 km, which is in my view quite reasonable, and you know little of how it was treated before you bought it, so you have no real chance of claiming Subaru was at fault.
