2014 Subaru Forester 2.0L Petrol · EY64 OBM

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status as of the September 2025 test at 64,929 miles. The recent inspection flagged rear brake pads wearing thin, a standard consumable wear item that requires attention soon. There is no evidence of any structural failure or significant mechanical defects recorded across the previous four tests, suggesting a stable maintenance pattern. The mileage history indicates a consistent and relatively low usage profile for the vehicle. The record shows mileage progression from 52,022 miles in September 2021 to the current 64,929 miles in October 2025, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. This low annual mileage is consistent with light use or periods of standing, which typically reduces wear on major drivetrain components and suspension systems. A recurring observation across the MOT history involves the tyres. Multiple tests, including those in September 2024 and September 2022, noted slight damage or cracking on both nearside and offside tyres. This pattern suggests a history where basic consumable upkeep, specifically tyre condition, may have been inconsistently managed by previous owners. When inspecting the vehicle, focus on the braking system, specifically checking the condition of the rear brake pads. Given the current advisory, these should be assessed for thickness. Additionally, given the vehicle's age and the history of tyre issues, a thorough visual inspection of the suspension components, including coil springs and suspension bushes, is recommended to ensure there is no underlying wear that might compromise structural integrity.
