2019 Subaru Forester 2.0L Petrol · LF19 FDY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on February 12, 2026 at 50,433 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern where the owner has actively addressed mechanical defects identified during previous tests. While the car failed just two days prior at 50,431 miles due to a lighting failure, a TPMS malfunction, and a worn suspension bush, the immediate rectification indicates these specific issues were resolved to meet legal standards. The mileage profile is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per annum. The record shows steady progress from 33,088 miles in February 2024 to 50,433 miles in early 2026. This relatively low-to-average usage generally suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples, though the intervals between tests show the car is used regularly for trips rather than sitting for extended periods. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the nearside front suspension arm, as the tester flagged a worn bush in the February 2026 failure. Although this was repaired, rubber components in Subaru suspension assemblies are prone to cracking regardless of mileage. The buyer should also verify the tyre pressure monitoring system functionality to ensure the previous malfunction was fully cleared and check the front tyres for uneven wear patterns, given the 2025 failure noted issues with edge wear and structural damage to the offside outer tyre.
