SUBARU LIBERTY Used Car Review

The last of the 5th generation Liberty series solidified the new 6 series to pull ahead in not only technological advances, but all mechanical bugs that have not been heard from since either. As all manufacturers normally accomplish by the end of the series they get them right, and this is no exception. A good low kilometre ownership now gives you an opportunity to seize. Not many were made in Black, (mostly silvers and whites) but this particular example still sports its TWO factory keys, a

Servicing

SIMILAR MODELS TO SUBARU LIBERTY

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR: SUBARU LIBERTY (2009-2014)

The four-cylinder engine uses a timing belt (a pair of them actually) that need changing every 125,000km. That's a longer interval than most car makers recommend, and it means they can be overlooked. Check the service history to see if this has been carried out as it's critical maintenance and a snapped belt means goodbye engine.

While your head is in the service record, make sure there have been no skipped services. Subaru engines are strong but won't tolerate dirty oil which clogs them up and destroys them.

A good check is to start the engine first thing in the morning and listen for a ticking noise from the engine's valve gear. If it is present, the engine has already been damaged and we'd look at a different car.

The good news is that the Subaru engine is so well built that the normal practice of replacing the water pump, pulleys and idlers every time you replace the timing belts is probably overkill in a Subaru engine. Every second time should be plenty.
