2009 Subaru Forester 2.0L Diesel · AO58 CFP

The vehicle's MOT history shows a pattern of recent failures followed by passes, indicating a fluctuating maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 July 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure on the same date. This follows a similar pattern in 2024, where the vehicle failed on 16 July 2024 before passing later that same day. While the latest result is clean, the repeated requirement for retests suggests intermittent issues that necessitate immediate attention to meet minimum standards. The recorded mileage of 68,849 miles is low for a 2009 model, averaging approximately 4,050 miles per year. The records show a test on 5 March 2024 and then subsequent tests in July 2024 and July 2025. The data does not provide specific mileage increments for each individual test to track exact annual usage, but the overall low total suggests the vehicle has seen limited road use over its seventeen-year lifespan. The lack of specific defect descriptions in the provided records prevents a technical diagnosis of the previous failures. However, the pattern of failing and passing on the same day often points to consumable items such as bulbs, wiper blades, or minor tyre tread issues. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as low-mileage vehicles that sit idle for long periods can suffer from seized calipers or perished rubber components. Given the age of the vehicle and the intermittent failures, a close examination of the chassis for structural corrosion is necessary. The buyer should also check the exhaust system and emissions levels, as older engines with low annual mileage can sometimes struggle with carbon buildup or degraded seals. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
