2015 Subaru Forestr 2.0L Diesel · GU15 HVF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift towards developing wear-related defects. While the Subaru passed its February 2026 test at 72,793 miles, the tester flagged new advisories regarding worn front anti-roll bar bushes and perishing on both front tyres. This marks a departure from the clean records seen between 2023 and 2025, suggesting that rubber components are now reaching the limit despite the relatively low mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, moving from 60,174 miles in October 2022 to 72,793 miles in early 2026. This consistent accumulation suggests the car has not been subjected to extreme long-distance stress, but the periods of standing or low use likely contribute to the degradation of age-based items like tyres and bushes, as evidenced in the latest 2026 report. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The 2022 test noted a worn nearside suspension arm bush, and the 2026 test identified worn anti-roll bar bushes. This recurring issue indicates a trend of rubber component fatigue in the front end that should be monitored for further cracking or tearing to prevent unpredictable handling characteristics. Additionally, the perishing noted on the front tyres suggests the rubber is dry due to age and may require replacement regardless of remaining tread depth.
