Subaru Forester Model Overview & Generations
The Subaru Forester has been on UK roads since the late 1990s, evolving into a refined yet capable SUV:
-
Early Models (2002–2008) – Compact proportions with 2.0-litre petrol engines, known for durability.
-
Third & Fourth Generation (2008–2018) – Gained popularity for spacious interiors, improved safety ratings, and diesel options.
-
Fifth Generation (2019 onwards) – Introduced the Forester e-Boxer hybrid, combining petrol power with electric assistance for better efficiency.
Our used Subaru stock typically features Forester XE Premium, SE, and Touring trims, offering leather interiors, heated seats, navigation, and Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assist systems.
Engines & Fuel Options
When shopping for a used Forester, it’s important to consider which engine suits your needs:
-
Petrol 2.0-litre – Reliable and simple, great for shorter trips or mixed driving.
-
Diesel 2.0D (discontinued in 2018) – Popular among high-mileage drivers; strong torque and good economy.
-
e-Boxer Hybrid (2019 onwards) – Petrol-electric setup with mild hybrid technology. Offers smoother driving and lower CO₂, though fuel economy varies between 32–40 mpg depending on use.
At MT Cars, we can advise on the best choice depending on whether you prioritise fuel economy, towing ability, or newer low-emission technology.
Reliability with the Subaru Forester
The Forester enjoys a reputation for being highly reliable, thanks to Subaru’s engineering and symmetrical AWD system. Owners praise the Forester for longevity, with many examples surpassing 150,000 miles with regular servicing.
What we recommend:
-
Diesel models: Keep an eye on the DPF system, particularly if you do mostly short journeys.
-
Touchscreen controls (2022+): Spend time adjusting to the lack of physical buttons for climate/audio.
-
Tyre wear: AWD requires even tyre wear; regular rotation is recommended.
-
Seat heating (2025 Touring): Some complaints about minimal heating efficiency in cold weather.
We ensure each used Subaru Forester is thoroughly checked, serviced, and backed with a warranty so you can buy with confidence.
What to Look For When Buying a Used Subaru Forester
Before purchasing, consider the following:
-
Service History – Look for regular oil changes and official Subaru service stamps.
-
Tyres & Brakes – Even tyre wear is important for AWD systems.
-
Interior Tech – Test infotainment and driver aids; check all updates are applied.
-
Towing Needs – Foresters are popular tow cars; confirm towbar fitting and towing weight suitability.
Our team at MT Cars will guide you through the inspection process and answer any model-specific questions.
