2013 Subaru Forester X Boxer Diesel 2.0L Diesel · SP13 LDD

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 1 October 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its tests over the last three years. It is worth noting that the records show failures immediately preceding the passes in both September 2025 and October 2024, though the specific defects causing those failures were not detailed in the provided data. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 10,575 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 119,704 miles and the October 2024 test at 126,640 miles, the car covered 6,936 miles. The usage slowed significantly in the final year, with only 10,833 miles added by the October 2025 test at 137,473 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing. The absence of recorded advisories or defects across the last three years is unusual for a thirteen year old diesel with this mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the chassis and suspension mounting points for corrosion, as these are common failure points for this model that may not have been flagged in a cursory test. The diesel particulate filter and EGR system should also be checked for carbon buildup given the mileage. Verify the condition of the brake discs and pads during a physical inspection. While the MOT record is clean, the repeated pattern of failing and then passing within a few days suggests the owner reacts to faults only when forced by a test. Check for any signs of oil leaks around the boxer engine and ensure the all-wheel-drive system operates smoothly.
