SUBARU FORESTER2018 · 2.0L PETROL

The 2018 Subaru Forester presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 January 2026 at 82,340 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2023 to 2025 also returned passes with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across its recorded history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,300 miles, typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show consistent yearly use: 60,857 miles in February 2023, 69,066 in January 2024, 75,739 in January 2025, and 82,340 in January 2026. A single gap exists between the August 2022 test at 57,970 miles and the February 2023 test, a six-month interval rather than a twelve-month one, but mileage accumulation remained steady at near 3,000 miles across that period. The DVSA data is otherwise clean and sparse on fault entries. The only flagged defect appears in the 2 August 2022 test, where the tester noted rear brake discs worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened. This was a minor consumable-wear item and cleared without further mention in subsequent tests, suggesting the discs were replaced or refinished before 2023. No suspension bushes, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emission faults were ever recorded. A buyer should still inspect the rear brake discs and calipers in person to confirm present condition, given the earlier pitting history. Check the underbody and suspension mounts for structural corrosion, as the record offers no evidence either way. Verify service history for drivetrain and tyre upkeep, since the MOT alone shows no advisories on those components.
