2017 Subaru Forester 2.0L Petrol · A13 CWW

The 2017 Subaru Forester holds a valid MOT pass dated 11 July 2025 at 48,909 miles, establishing roadworthy status as of that examination. The latest pass sits eleven months before the evaluation date of 9 July 2026, keeping the certificate extant. Maintenance trend is stable, with four passes and a single anomalous failure on 7 July 2023 at 37,525 miles where the tester logged no defects before issuing a pass the same day; this points to a clerical reversal rather than a mechanical defect. No advisories or faults appear across the record, reflecting consistent statutory compliance. Odometer readings show 31,967 miles at the 7 July 2022 test, rising to 37,525 miles by 7 July 2023, 42,881 miles on 11 July 2024, and 48,909 miles at the latest test. That equates to approximately 5,400 to 6,000 miles per year, low for a vehicle of this age. Annual tests clustered in early July reveal disciplined ownership with no lapsed certificates. Light use of this nature often masks intermittent wear hidden from MOT scrutiny. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the car's low mileage and likely storage periods. Examine brake discs for lip formation and binding calipers during a road test, as these items escape MOT detection without fault. The clean history implies previous keepers addressed statutory requirements yet may have overlooked preventative care on consumables such as tyres and wiper blades. Verify structural integrity underneath and assess exhaust condition before purchase.
