2018 Subaru Forester 2.0L Petrol · GD56 OKO

The Subaru Forester presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 January 2026 at 150,974 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The recorded mileage of 150,974 at the January 2026 test equates to roughly 18,872 miles per year since the 2018 build, a high annual figure for this model age that points to sustained motorway or commercial-style use. Between the 11 January 2023 test at 124,680 miles and the 2 February 2024 test at 134,255 miles the car covered about 9,575 miles, then added 8,043 miles to the January 2025 pass at 142,298 miles and a further 8,676 miles to the January 2026 pass. The only anomaly is a failed test on 2 February 2024 at 134,244 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed the same day by a pass at 134,255 miles, suggesting an administrative or data-entry fault rather than a mechanical rejection. Given the absence of any advisories across all five entries, the record shows no flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and drivetrain condition, as high mileage of this order accelerates consumable and mechanical fatigue not captured by a pass with no defects. The clean MOT sequence implies previous keepers addressed issues before each test rather than letting minor faults accumulate. The lack of recurring advisories is a positive signal, though the sparse five-entry history offers limited visibility of component-level care between tests.
