2006 Subaru Forester 2.5L Petrol · RO06 AEB

The 2025‑12‑12 MOT at 83,531 miles confirms current roadworthiness, with the vehicle passing without any defects recorded. The maintenance trend remains stable, as each successive test from December 2022 through December 2025 has resulted in a pass with no listed failures. The mileage trajectory shows a gradual increase: 62,379 miles in December 2022, 62,921 miles in December 2023, 70,520 miles in December 2024 and 83,531 miles in December 2025, indicating an average annual rise of roughly 4,000‑5,000 miles over the past three years, which remains modest for a 2006 model. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, verify that the rear brake calipers move freely and that the brake discs show no scoring or excessive wear, and inspect the chassis and wheel‑arch areas for structural rust or corrosion that could compromise integrity. Although the MOT history is clean and the recent test is only seven months old, the low annual mileage suggests the car may have been stationary for extended periods, so a physical inspection should also cover fluid condition, tyre tread depth, and the functionality of the wiper blades and lighting circuits.
