2013 Subaru Forester X Boxer Diesel 2.0L Diesel · SN13 WEW

The 2013 Subaru Forester X Boxer Diesel is roadworthy as of the most recent MOT on 5 August 2025 at 150,795 miles, passing with no recorded defects. The pattern of advisories seen in earlier years has not resurfaced, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening one. Mileage has risen from 115,765 miles in June 2021 to 150,795 miles in August 2025, an average of roughly 11,600 miles per year. The increments between tests – 4,028 miles to May 2022, 13,392 miles to May 2023, 10,827 miles to May 2024, and 6,783 miles to August 2025 – show a steady, typical usage pattern with no prolonged idle periods or sudden spikes that would suggest neglect or over‑use. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front suspension assembly, where the 2024 test flagged worn front arm pins and bushes and slight play in the front arm ball joint and anti‑roll bar ball joint. Inspect those points for any looseness, corrosion, or excessive wear. The brake system also warrants close examination: from 2021 through 2023 the tester noted thin pads and scored discs on all four wheels. Verify disc thickness, surface condition, and pad wear, and confirm that the calipers operate without binding. No structural rust or chassis defects have been recorded, but a visual check for any emerging corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and under‑body, remains prudent.
