2015 Subaru Forestr 2.0L Diesel · EU15 YLC

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026-02-20 at 112,030 miles. The test identified minor issues including worn tyres and slight play in the suspension ball joints. These defects were not classified as dangerous but indicate a maintenance trend that has remained stable rather than worsening. No critical failures were recorded, and the car has maintained roadworthiness over the past three years. However, the presence of multiple suspension-related advisories suggests that ongoing attention to these components is necessary. The mileage pattern shows an average of approximately 10,185 miles per year since 2015, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history reveals a gap between 2024-01-29 and 2024-01-31, where the same mileage was recorded, suggesting either a data entry error or a short period without testing. The absence of defects in the 2025 and 2023 tests indicates periods of good maintenance, though the 2024 failure highlights a significant issue with the suspension system that was later resolved. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the lower and upper ball joints, as these have shown repeated wear. The tyres, especially the rear ones, are close to legal limits and may need replacement. Checking the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion is also recommended. Structural integrity appears unaffected based on the records, but a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for rust or damage would be prudent.
