2013 Subaru Forester 2.0L Diesel · YN63 SWU

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 with 79,984 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears improving following a period of mechanical neglect in 2024. While the car previously suffered from failures related to drivetrain and suspension, the clean sheet from the latest test indicates that the previous owner addressed the critical mechanical faults identified in the prior year. At approximately 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 79,984 miles averages to roughly 6,153 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mileage patterns. The data shows consistent intervals, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and approximately 4,800 miles between 2024 and 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been left to sit for long periods, which generally helps preserve rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry, as records show a recurring history of worn anti-roll bar bushes and suspension arm pins dating back to the 62,923 mile test. The 2024 failure of both front outer CV boots is a significant event; while these were likely replaced to pass the test, an inspector should check for grease leakage to ensure the new boots are not signs of premature tearing. Additionally, the 2023 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear on the outer edges suggests a wheel alignment check may be necessary to prevent further tyre degradation.
