2016 Subaru Forester 2.0L Petrol · BV66 VBZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 17 September 2025 at 29,177 miles. The earlier failure on 17 September 2024 for a fractured rear coil spring and thin front brake pads was remedied, and the subsequent pass demonstrates an improving maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 21,212 miles in September 2022 to 29,177 miles in September 2025, averaging roughly 2,900 miles per year. The increments between tests – 3,294 miles between 2022‑09‑21 and 2023‑09‑27, 2,269 miles to the 2024‑09‑17 test, a negligible 2 miles to the 2024‑09‑27 retest, and 2,400 miles to the 2025‑09‑17 test – show steady, low‑intensity use with no sudden spikes or long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should verify that the rear suspension now incorporates an intact coil spring and that associated bushings and mounting points are free of corrosion or cracking. Front brake pads should be examined for sufficient thickness and even wear, and the brake discs inspected for scoring or warping. Tyre tread, noted as slightly perished, warrants a close visual check for uneven wear that could indicate alignment issues. Finally, a visual survey of the chassis for rust or structural damage will confirm that the earlier mechanical repairs were performed to a sound standard.
