Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2013 model year cars.
- Boxer Diesel Crankshaft FailureSerious
The EE20 diesel in SH Foresters is notorious for snapped crankshafts or spun main bearings, often turning the car into an uneconomic repair.
- Rear Self-Levelling Suspension FailureModerate
Factory self-levelling rear dampers lose pressure and leak, leaving the back of the car sagging when unladen and especially when towing or carrying weight.
- Rear Subframe and Mount CorrosionModerate
UK road salt can attack the rear subframe, suspension mounts and brake pipe area long before the body panels look especially rusty.
