2006 Subaru Forester 2.0L Petrol · ME06 CMV

The 2006 Subaru Forester has a recent MOT result from 2026-05-06, showing it passed with some minor issues. The nearside front track rod end dust cover was damaged but not critical, and both front inner tyres were worn close to the legal limit. Both front brake discs were also worn and pitted but not seriously weakened. The MOT history shows a recurring issue with the track rod end dust covers, which have been noted in multiple tests since 2025. This suggests a consistent maintenance concern, though not a major safety risk. There have also been brake-related issues, including binding brakes on both rear wheels, which were addressed by 2026. The trend appears stable, with no new serious defects reported in the most recent test. However, the repeated issues with the track rod ends and brake components indicate ongoing wear that should be monitored. The vehicle has a low mileage of 96,520 miles for its age, averaging about 4,826 miles per year. This could suggest lighter use or periods of inactivity, which may affect component longevity, particularly in systems like the brakes and suspension.
