2018 Subaru Forester 2.0L Petrol · AF18 FHR

The most recent MOT test in February 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects, which is a strong sign that the vehicle is currently in good mechanical order. This pass is very recent, occurring just a few months ago, so you can have confidence in the car's immediate roadworthiness. Looking at the history, there is a clear pattern of the owner addressing wear items before they become dangerous. In 2022, the tester flagged thin brake pads, scored discs, and a nail in a tyre, but these issues were completely absent from the 2023 and subsequent tests. This indicates the brakes and tyres were likely serviced or replaced shortly after that advisory. Similarly, in 2024, the vehicle passed with advisories for worn suspension arm bushes on both the nearside and offside front bottom arms. These advisories did not appear in the 2025 or 2026 tests, suggesting the owner had these suspension components repaired. The condition trend appears to be stable or improving, as the identified wear points are being resolved rather than ignored until failure. The mileage of roughly 76,600 miles is typical for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging around 9,500 miles per year. This suggests the car has seen regular, balanced use rather than sitting idle for long periods or enduring extreme high-mileage stress.
