2014 Subaru Forester 2.0L Diesel · EY64 OBN

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT certificate issued on 25 September 2025 at 79,384 miles, indicating a stable and positive roadworthiness trend. The absence of any advisories or defects in the most recent inspection suggests that the current owner has addressed previous mechanical shortcomings effectively. This record reflects a well-maintained machine that has successfully transitioned from failing its annual inspections to passing without recorded issues in consecutive years. The recorded mileage of 79,384 over a twelve-year period averages approximately 6,615 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this classification. The progression of mileage is consistent across the provided history, showing a steady accumulation of roughly 7,600 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, followed by a higher usage period of approximately 12,141 miles leading up to the 2025 test. This pattern indicates regular, active use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, which often helps prevent the premature degradation of seals and rubber components. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition, as these were the only areas flagged in the 2023 and 2024 failure reports. While the rear brake pads were replaced following the 2023 failure, verify the current thickness of the discs and pads to ensure they have not reached their service limit during the significant mileage covered since the last test. Given the age of the vehicle, inspect the underside for signs of corrosion on the subframes and exhaust system, as these areas are prone to environmental wear despite the recent clean pass. Check the sidewalls of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns, as the previous failure regarding tread depth suggests the vehicle may have experienced alignment issues or aggressive cornering in the past.
