2014 Subaru Forester 2.0L Diesel · CE14 FHB

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status, with the most recent test on 2026-06-12 confirming roadworthiness. The maintenance history shows a stable trend, with previous tests in 2025 and 2024 also passing, indicating that any noted issues, such as structural corrosion, have not progressed to a critical state. However, the history does reveal a recurring pattern of wear on suspension components and specific areas of bodywork requiring attention. The vehicle has accumulated 74,935 miles over a period of approximately 12 years, resulting in a consistent annual mileage of roughly 6,245 miles. The MOT records are spaced regularly, with tests occurring roughly every 12 to 18 months, which suggests a routine level of vehicle care has been maintained by previous owners. This steady progression indicates that wear is occurring at a predictable rate, rather than sudden, catastrophic failure. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension system, as multiple tests from 2022 and 2023 flagged wear on various suspension arm pins and bushes, including the offside anti-roll bar pin. Furthermore, the rear sub-frame has been noted for corrosion in multiple tests, most recently on 2026-06-12. While the records state this corrosion is not seriously weakening the structure, it is a persistent issue that requires a thorough visual inspection for signs of rust penetration. The brake system also requires attention. The 2024 test noted that the offside rear inner brake disc was worn, pitted, or scored. This component should be checked for adequate thickness and surface condition. Finally, the rear brake pipes were noted for corrosion and material buildup in 2024, which should be checked for integrity and proper sealing.
