2015 Subaru Forester 2.0L Petrol · MH58 ACH

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a failed MOT test on June 22, 2026. While the car passed its previous inspections, the maintenance trend has shifted from advisory warnings to critical failure. The most recent report identifies excessive wear on the nearside front suspension arm bush and notable wear on the offside front, alongside immediate failures across all four tyres due to perishing, cracking, and reaching legal limits. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 57,748 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,250 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent across the history, with a gap of roughly 5,000 miles between the June 2025 and 2026 tests. However, the low mileage appears to coincide with age-related degradation of rubber-based components, as the data consistently highlights tyres cracking and suspension bushes wearing out due to time rather than simply high distance driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the control arm bushes have been flagged for progressive wear over three consecutive years. The transition from "worn" to "excessively worn" suggests that preventative maintenance has not been addressed. Furthermore, the recurring issue of perishing and cracking tyres indicates that the vehicle may have sat for long periods, necessitating a full check of all rubber seals and tyre age irrespective of tread depth.
