2015 Subaru Forester 2.0L Petrol · KW15 YDC

The most recent MOT pass was on 14 October 2025, around eight months ago, with 116,944 miles. That test listed advisory items for two front tyres worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. A failed test two weeks earlier flagged non-working indicator bulbs in both door mirrors and a slightly loose mirror, all of which appear to have been fixed for the pass. No MOT has been recorded since, so the vehicle’s current condition may have changed. The history reveals a recurring pattern of wear-and-tear issues rather than major mechanical failure. Rear brake pads were dangerously thin in late 2024 but were presumably replaced, as the next pass two days later dropped that defect. Handbrake travel was noted as high in 2023 and again at that 2024 failure, but later tests are silent on it, suggesting the parking brake was adjusted or repaired. A windscreen chip has been present since at least 2023 without worsening. The new tyre advisories in 2025 are the main fresh concern, pointing to uneven wear that often indicates alignment problems or worn suspension joints. The tyre-advisory trend is mildly worsening, because inner- and outer-edge wear appeared for the first time in the latest tests.
