2016 Subaru Forestr 2.0L Diesel · EY16 XUL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT record across its documented history. The most recent test conducted on 2 September 2025 at 31,759 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This continued streak of passes over the last several years indicates that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters without the typical failures seen in older Japanese vehicles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old Subaru, averaging approximately 3,176 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 20,509 miles and September 2025 at 31,759 miles, the car covered only 11,250 miles over three years. This low usage suggests the vehicle was likely used for short local trips or sat for extended periods. While low mileage generally means less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it also carries the risk of rubber-based parts degrading due to age rather than use. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to long-term storage. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking or perished rubber, as the low mileage depth may mask age-related brittleness. Examine the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers, which often occur when vehicles are not driven frequently. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes and rubber boots for cracking to ensure that the low mileage has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis components.
