Our Verdict

Approach with caution but don't rule it out — this 2016 Subaru Forester has two MOT failures on record and is now high mileage, though it passed cleanly in 2026 after repairs. Budget for ongoing suspension and brake upkeep given its age and use.

Ask to see the paperwork for the 2025 suspension and spring repairs and the 2024 brake and tyre work, as these were required to pass MOT and should have been carried out properly. A full service history is important on a high-mileage Subaru petrol — confirm timing belt or chain intervals and evidence of regular oil changes on the 1995cc engine. Use the recorded failures as negotiation points: with 127k miles and past advisories on brakes and tyres, factor in upcoming consumable costs when agreeing a price.
