2014 Subaru Forester 2.0L Petrol · RO64 MHN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 November 2025 at 74,594 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety and environmental standards. While there was a single failure on the record on 15 November 2024 at 67,438 miles, the issue was rectified immediately as the vehicle passed just one week later. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year over the last four years. This low-intensity usage is typical for a twelve-year-old vehicle and suggests less wear on high-stress components like the drivetrain and engine internals. The interval between the November 2022 test at 56,001 miles and the November 2024 test at 67,445 miles shows a steady usage pattern without long periods of stationary neglect that often lead to seized-rot brake brakes or perished rubber seals. Despite the clean records in the recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common failure points for the Subaru Forester of this age. Given the low annual mileage, check for signs of dry cracking in suspension bushes and control arms, which degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Close attention should be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis and exhaust system, as the MOT only flags significant corrosion once it reaches a specific depth threshold. Verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers to ensure that the low mileage has not caused excessive surface rust or sticking pistons.
