2013 Subaru Forester 2.0L Diesel · EK13 RVT

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2026 at 41,662 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This stability has held firm over the last five years, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from recurring mechanical or structural failures that typically trigger MOT warnings. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old Subaru, averaging approximately 3,200 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2026, the car covered only 9,920 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage pattern of roughly 2,500 miles annually. This low usage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain components, engine internals, and braking system. However, such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid oxidation if the vehicle has not been driven regularly. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Check for cracking in tyre sidewalls and suspension bushes, which often perish over time rather than through mileage. Examine the condition of the brake discs for surface pitting or rust, as periods of standing can cause uneven corrosion. Additionally, inspect the chassis for early signs of structural rust, as the MOT only flags structural corrosion once it reaches a specific threshold of safety failure.
