Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2020 model year cars.
- Thermo Control Valve FailureModerate
SK Foresters can trigger multiple dashboard warning lights and poor cabin heater output when the thermo control valve sticks or fails internally. Warning-lamp and electrical faults are a commonly recorded MOT area on this model.
- Lineartronic CVT Hesitation or JudderModerate
Later CVTs are generally better, but neglected fluid changes can still lead to shuddering, hesitation and expensive transmission diagnostics.
- Starlink Infotainment Screen FaultsModerate
The Starlink touchscreen fitted from around 2013 onwards can freeze, go blank or fail to reboot, with owners quoting roughly £1,500 for a dealer replacement unit. It is an annoyance rather than a safety fault, but electrical and dashboard-message faults are a common MOT area on the Forester.
