2019 Subaru Forester 2.0L Petrol · GK19 DMZ

This Subaru Forester has a largely clean MOT history, but the most recent pass in November 2025 shows a notable jump in recorded mileage and a specific tyre condition warning that needs attention. The vehicle passed every test without any major structural or safety defects, which is a strong sign of good basic maintenance. The main risk pattern here is tyre deterioration. In November 2024, both front and rear tyres were noted as "slightly damaged/cracking or perishing" on both sides. By the next test in November 2025, no tyre defects were recorded, which suggests the tyres were replaced before that test. However, the mileage jumped from 20,807 to 24,590 in just one year, which is roughly 3,783 miles—higher than the car's overall average. This could indicate a change in use, possibly more frequent or longer journeys, which would accelerate tyre wear. The condition trend appears stable and improving. The tyre issue was addressed, and there are no recurring faults or advisories. The car has not failed any test, and the only advisory ever recorded was for perishable rubber components, which is typical for a vehicle of this age, especially if it stood unused for periods.
