2009 Subaru Forester 2.0L Diesel · LL58 THK

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 25 March 2026 at 130,347 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing the last three annual tests without any recorded mechanical faults. The mileage is typical for a 17 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,667 miles per year. The distance covered between the May 2024 test at 121,312 miles and the March 2026 test at 130,347 miles shows steady, moderate usage. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or excessive short-term wear. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed immediately before passing. In April 2024, it failed at 121,308 miles before passing ten days later. A similar pattern occurred in April 2025, failing at 125,284 miles and passing sixteen days later. While the DVSA record does not list the specific defects for these failures, the rapid turnaround suggests the previous owner addressed the issues promptly to ensure compliance. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural corrosion and suspension components. While the MOT history is clean of recorded advisories, vehicles of this age and make often suffer from rust on the subframes and sills. Check the condition of the coil springs and suspension bushes, as these are common wear points for a Forester at 130,000 miles that may not always trigger an immediate MOT failure until they reach a critical state.
