1999 SUBARU FORESTER2.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT entry is from July 2010, meaning there is no recorded evidence of the vehicle's roadworthiness for the last 16 years. The historical data from 2009 and 2010 shows a recurring pattern of maintenance neglect. The vehicle suffered from multiple failures involving basic consumables like tyres and wipers, as well as more serious mechanical issues including cracked anti-roll bar linkages, imbalanced brakes, and a major exhaust leak that resulted in an emissions failure. The trend during the recorded period shows a vehicle with multiple, overlapping mechanical issues. While the final recorded entry was a pass, it was preceded by several significant failures, suggesting the vehicle's condition was inconsistent during its last period of documented use. The mileage of 144,789 is low for a 27-year-old vehicle, averaging about 5,363 miles per year. While this implies less usage-based wear on the engine and drivetrain, the 16-year gap in MOT history suggests the vehicle may have spent long periods standing. This can lead to the degradation of components that are not directly related to mileage. A buyer should first inspect the anti-roll bar linkages, the exhaust system, the brakes, and the condition of the tyres.
