2011 Subaru Forester 2.0L Diesel · AC61 RMC

The Subaru Forester presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 November 2025 at 57,993 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the prior four years. The recorded mileage reflects light use for a 2011 vehicle. From the 19 November 2021 test at 51,170 miles to the 11 November 2025 test at 57,993 miles, the car covered only 6,823 miles over four years, averaging roughly 1,706 miles annually against a 15-year life average near 3,866. The DVSA history shows no gaps between annual tests and no advisories or failures at any point from 2021 through 2025, indicating the previous keeper maintained statutory testing discipline though the sparse record gives no visibility of consumable replacement intervals. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely periods of standing. Low annual mileage often masks perished rubber components and trapped moisture in structural cavities that a pass result will not expose if not yet at test threshold. Brake discs, calipers, and the exhaust system should be physically checked for binding or internal rot despite the absence of recorded advisories. The clean MOT sequence suggests basic upkeep was not neglected, but the test data alone cannot confirm the depth of mechanical servicing on a 15-year-old all-wheel-drive chassis.
