What is Subaru FORESTER Lifespan?

The estimated lifespan of a Subaru FORESTER is 139,000 miles, before reaching the life expectancy upper limit. Factors such as ULEZ compliance and BHP are major factors when looking into a vehicle's lifespan.

We calculated all of the below figures by getting average mileage from scrapped vehicles of this exact make, model, year and fuel type. We then get an accurate sum by taking into account deviations such as insurance write-offs.

Also check reliability ratings, BHP & performance, road tax, and service history for the Subaru FORESTER.

Why is Lifespan Important?

When it comes to choosing a Subaru FORESTER, it's essential to think beyond the exterior and engine. Understanding a vehicle's recall history and expected lifespan plays a crucial role in making a wise decision.

Benefits of Understanding Vehicle Lifespan

  • Saving Money: Choosing a car that lasts longer means more value for your money and fewer unexpected expenses.
  • Environmental Impact: A longer-lasting vehicle means fewer resources used in manufacturing replacements.
  • Reliability: Understanding typical lifespans helps you plan maintenance and avoid breakdown surprises.
  • Resale Value: Models known for longevity typically retain better resale values.

Important Note

Please note these lifespan averages are guidelines, and factors like emissions and outstanding finance can affect a vehicle's roadworthiness before or after the estimated mileage. Always get a full vehicle check before purchasing.
