2003 Subaru Forester 2.0L Petrol · VE03 APF

The Subaru Forester has a stable roadworthiness record, with all tests passing at the most recent mileage of 134,660 miles. The vehicle has been tested annually since March 2024, with no defects recorded in any of the tests. This consistent performance suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained by its owners. The mileage pattern is unusual for a vehicle of this age. The recorded mileage has increased by approximately 2,500 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the average for vehicles of this age. This could indicate that the vehicle was used lightly or stored for extended periods between tests. The absence of any major defects in the tests suggests that any potential issues were either minor or resolved before the tests. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for any signs of suspension wear, particularly focusing on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. The vehicle's age and low mileage could mean that these components may be in better condition than expected for a vehicle of this age. Additionally, the buyer should check the condition of the brake discs and calipers, as any signs of wear or binding could indicate a need for maintenance. Finally, the buyer should inspect the vehicle for any signs of structural rust, particularly in the undercarriage and wheel arches, as this could affect the vehicle's long-term roadworthiness.
