2019 Subaru Forester I XE PRM Ebxr AWD CVT 2.0L Hybrid electric · SP69 UHW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership style. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 86,402 miles passed, the advisory for a nearside front inner tyre worn to the legal limit suggests deferred maintenance on consumables. This follows a pattern of failures where components are only addressed after failing an MOT test, as seen with the brake and tyre issues in late 2023 and 2024. At 86,402 miles over seven years, this Forester has averaged approximately 12,300 miles per annum, which sits slightly above the UK national average for a passenger car. The data shows a significant surge in usage with 18,404 miles covered between November 2023 and October 2025. This high rate of accumulation places increased strain on the CVT transmission and the AWD drivetrain components. The rapid increase in mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly for long-distance travel, which accelerates the wear of suspension bushings and mechanical linkages. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The failure in 2024 for seriously weakened rear brake discs indicates that the previous owner allowed components to deteriorate until structural failure, which can sometimes damage calipers. The recurring reports of uneven tyre wear and sidewall damage in the 2023 test point to potential alignment issues or worn shock absorbers. Inspect the front tyres for signs of irregular wear and check the undercarriage for corrosion, as the high-mileage usage often masks underlying degradation of rubber components in Subaru suspension.
