SUBARU FORESTER XC BOXER DIESEL2011 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend based on the available data, though the MOT history is severely outdated. The last recorded test on 16 December 2021 resulted in a pass at 87,725 miles with no defects. However, the car has not undergone a documented inspection in over four years relative to the current date of 11 July 2026. This significant gap in testing means the current roadworthiness cannot be verified through official records. The mileage is notably low for a 15 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,848 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 59,003 miles in May 2018 to 87,725 miles by December 2021. A strange entry exists on 9 December 2020 where the car failed and then passed two days later at 79,954 miles, yet the record lists no defects for either event. This suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of advisories or failures across five years of testing is unusual for a diesel Subaru of this age. While the lack of flagged suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues is positive, the long period of inactivity since 2021 is a primary concern. Vehicles that stand for years often develop seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded battery health. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for structural corrosion, as the MOT history does not provide recent data on rust. Check for fluid leaks and ensure the diesel particulate filter has not clogged due to the apparent lack of recent use. Verify the current state of all rubber components and braking systems to ensure they have not degraded during the four year gap in testing.
