Outback 2015-2018 - things to look for on used purchase

[stevet123]

Hi all, been after an Outback for a while (2.5 Lineartronic), I test drove one and loved it but condition wasn't the best. Going to look at another couple this weekend, are there any specific areas I should be checking, or sounds etc to listen out for? Probably looking at 50-80k mileage wise, what major service items should have been done in that time? What kind of miles do people get from the CVT gearboxes, 100,000+ or less?

Thanks for any tips, excited to join the club

Oh and forgot to ask, whenever I mention buying a Subaru people inevitably bring up rust issues - is this still a problem with this era of car? Any areas to check for it, sills/wheel arches etc?
