2018 Subaru Forester 2.0L Petrol · NX68 PPK

The 2018 Subaru Forester currently holds a roadworthiness rating of Pass, as evidenced by the 2025-11-11 MOT test at 23,300 miles which passed for the first time in over a year. The maintenance history indicates a stable trend, with the most recent test at 5.2.3 (d) (ii) showing a nearside front tyre slightly damaged/cracking or perishing, a condition that was not present on the previous test at 19,487 miles in November 2024. This suggests that while the vehicle has not suffered catastrophic structural failure, minor wear on the front suspension components has been managed. The mileage pattern reveals a notable gap relative to the vehicle's age, as the 2022-11-14 test at 14,122 miles failed for the first time in the vehicle's history. This gap contrasts with the 2023-11-28 test at 17,001 miles which passed without defects, indicating that the vehicle has not accumulated excessive wear on the drivetrain or suspension in the last 2.5 years. The absence of defects on the 2022-11-14 test despite the failure on the 2023-11-28 test suggests that the vehicle may have been driven less frequently or maintained more conservatively than usual during the 2023 period. In conclusion, the vehicle passes the MOT with no serious structural risks, though the history shows a minor trend of wear on the front suspension. A buyer should inspect the front suspension bushes and coil springs for binding, check brake discs for corrosion, and verify exhaust emissions. The lack of defects on the 2023 test suggests the vehicle may need to be serviced if the 2025-11-11 test indicates the front tyre is perishing, as this is a critical component for roadworthiness.
