2015 Subaru Forester 2.0L Diesel · SN15 UBS

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, characterized by a series of passes culminating in a completely clean result on 27 October 2025. While minor wear was noted in previous years, the absence of any defects or advisories in the two most recent inspections indicates a stable mechanical condition and a trend toward improved maintenance of wear-and-tear components. The recorded mileage of 92,284 miles is typical for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,389 miles per annum. This steady rate of accumulation suggests the car has been used regularly without prolonged periods of dormancy, meaning the mechanical components have likely avoided the degradation associated with standing, though standard wear on drivetrain and chassis consumables is expected for this distance. Attention should be directed toward the front end of the chassis, specifically the suspension arm bushes which were flagged as perished in late 2022. During a test drive, listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces or during low-speed maneuvers, as worn bushes can lead to imprecise steering and increased tyre wear. Confirm whether these components were replaced following the 2022 advisory or if they remain in a degraded state. The braking system also warrants a specific check due to a recorded advisory for a binding offside front service brake in October 2023. While the most recent tests are clean, a prospective buyer should feel for any slight pull to one side during braking or a lack of free-rolling movement when the vehicle is coasting. Checking the temperature of the front brake discs after a drive can reveal if a caliper is still binding, which would manifest as excessive heat on the offside compared to the nearside.
