2015 Subaru Forester 2.0L Diesel · DG65 WGU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history shows a developing trend of reactive braking component replacement. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 105,502 miles identified front inner brake discs as worn and pitted, the vehicle passed without failure. This follows a previous warning in 2023 at 86,428 miles where both front and rear brakes showed fluctuations alongside front disc wear. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for an older vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 19,074 miles recorded between August 2023 and September 2025, which aligns with the accelerated wear of brake-related components noted during that period. Between 2021 and 2022, the vehicle maintained clean records with no recorded defects, suggesting a period of stable operation before the mileage-related wear became apparent in the more recent testing interval. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to address the recurring issues with fluctuating and pitted discs. The history of fluctuating brakes often indicates warped rotors or sticking caliper pistons which lead to uneven heat and surface degradation. Given the age of the Subaru and the recorded mileage, the inspection should also focus on suspension bushings and signs of structural corrosion on the chassis, as these were not flagged in the MOT records but are common failure points for this model at this stage.
