2015 Subaru Forester 2.0L Petrol · AF65 XRT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent clean record over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 58,320 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that any previous mechanical issues identified in earlier tests have been addressed. This suggests a proactive approach to maintenance where faults are rectified before they escalate into recurring test failures. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per annum. Between the 2021 test at 47,982 miles and the 2025 test at 58,320 miles, the car covered just 10,338 miles. This low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts, seals, and fluid chemistry if the vehicle has been left stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus on the areas highlighted in the 2022 test at 50,459 miles, which flagged a slightly noisy offside rear wheel bearing and a deteriorated rear registration plate. While these were cleared in subsequent tests, the buyer should verify the wheel bearing remains silent under load. Furthermore, given the age and low mileage of the Subaru, a close examination of the chassis for structural corrosion and suspension bushing condition is essential, as low-mileage vehicles are not immune to the age-related degradation often seen in high-mileage counterparts.
