2015 Subaru Forester 2.0L Diesel · BK65 DPZ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. The most recent inspection conducted on 28 November 2025 at 127,562 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This transition from flagged faults to a clean pass suggests the current owner is taking proactive steps to rectify noted wear. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2024, the car covered 30,575 miles, showing a regular driving cycle rather than long periods of stagnation. This consistent use is generally beneficial for mechanical components as it prevents seals from drying out, though the total mileage places the vehicle nearing the degradation of high-wear items like the drivetrain and suspension assembly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as records show recurring wear in the arm bushes. The 2022 test at 99,331 miles flagged a worn offside front suspension bush, followed by a 2023 failure at 110,245 miles regarding the nearside front bushes. While these were resolved, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the suspension components are under stress. The inspector should ensure no further play remains in the control arms. Additionally, given the 2021 advisory regarding thin rear brake pads, a thorough check of the remaining pad thickness and caliper condition is necessary to confirm the braking system has been maintained accordingly.
