i have a uk wagon done nearly 130k has a full service history from subaru,everything is fine with mine although have changed suspension,exhaust,brakes for upgrades,
should be fine if its uk spec and been looked after,you get a lot of bad ones with low milage aswell.

silent running

They need looking after at that mileage. I bought mine on 105k and it's now up to 131k. During that time, pretty much everything has gone apart from the glass and the bodyshell itself and that was a well looked after car.

Stuff just gets old and worn out unfortunately, and you'll find most sensors from Subaru are £200-£300 each. I think if you go into it with your eyes open, expecting big maintenance bills and take that off the buying price, you won't go far wrong.
