- Price range
- P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
- Down payment
- MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
- Availability
- High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

- Brand reliability
- Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
- Resale strength
- 100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
- Peer set
- Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
- Quadrants
- The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

Verdict
Subcompact Subaru crossover — same GT/GK platform as the Impreza 5th gen. Same FB20 2.0L NA + e-Boxer mild hybrid + Lineartronic CVT family. All Impreza GT/GK buying checks carry over: Denso fuel pump recall, Lineartronic warranty extension in some markets, EyeSight calibration on clear windshield. Sister chassis to the Impreza but with raised ride height + black plastic cladding for SUV positioning.

What's good
- FB20 NA with Denso fuel pump recall + Lineartronic CVT fluid receipts — same Impreza GT/GK buying formula. The two paperwork items (recall + CVT fluid) materially de-risk the most-recurring failure modes.
- e-Boxer mild-hybrid trim (later model years) — adds modern mild-hybrid efficiency to the matured FB20 platform. Battery is small + simple (vs full hybrid); minimal additional risk.
What to watch
- Denso fuel-pump recall not confirmed done via VIN — same Impreza GT/GK safety-critical recall. Subaru dealer free repair; without closed paperwork walk away.
- STARLINK infotainment freezing or unresponsive at viewing — same Impreza GT/GK infotainment pattern. Software-fixable for many cases; paperwork-essential for reproducible faults.

Verdict
Subaru's 1st-gen XV crossover — same Impreza GP platform. FB16 / FB20 flat-four engines + Lineartronic CVT. Pre-2016 CVT carries the same failure cluster as Forester SJ (densest cluster, Subaru extended warranty in some markets). Cars 8-13 years old. FB-family oil consumption subset; aged-Subaru items dominate.

What's good
- Post-2016 facelift XV GP with documented CVT fluid service — facelift improved CVT calibration. Combined with fluid receipts, the cleaner used XV GP pick.
- FB16 / FB20 with documented Subaru service + no oil consumption — boring durable Subaru when serviced.
What to watch
- Pre-2016 XV GP with CVT shudder / whine — same Forester SJ CVT failure cluster. S$5-9k for replacement.
- FB engine burning oil between services — same FB-family oil consumption subset.

Common questions about the Subaru Xv
- How much does a used Subaru Xv cost in Singapore?
- Most used Subaru Xv on the market are around 9 years old, asking roughly S$26k–S$35k (typically about S$29k). That's the age with the widest choice — and the most sellers competing, so it's where you'll have the most room to bargain.
- How much does a used Subaru Xv depreciate per year?
- A used Subaru Xv loses value at a fairly steady pace — around 31% a year — with no real plateau. An older one costs less but keeps falling at much the same rate, so there's no single 'bargain age': buy on price and condition, not on timing.
- Is the Subaru Xv reliable?
- In our read, the Subaru Xv scores 78 out of 100 on brand reliability. That still varies by generation and how the individual car was looked after, so always check the service history before you commit.
- What should I expect to pay for a used Subaru Xv with a given mileage?
- It depends on the exact variant, age and mileage — a higher-mileage car should ask less. Use the price modeller on this page to get a fair-price range for a specific age and mileage, so you know what to offer.
- Where do these Subaru Xv figures come from?
- They're worked out from current used-Subaru Xv listings in Singapore — asking prices, mileage and registration years — not past transaction prices. We refresh them regularly, and we flag thin data rather than guess.
