Subaru Forester I Sport Ebxr AWD CVT (2023)
2023 Subaru Forester I Sport Ebxr AWD CVT
CarHunch is tracking 175 2023 Subaru Forester I Sport Ebxr AWD CVT vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2023 Forester has a catastrophic first-time MOT pass rate of just 5.7%, compared to the 80% UK average—meaning 94 out of 100 vehicles fail their test, which is an enormous red flag for a car this new. The dangerous defect rate sits at 0%, which is the only positive here, but zero failures or advisories recorded across 175 vehicles suggests these cars aren't reaching test centres in roadworthy condition.
The median mileage of 32,650 miles is reasonable for a year-old vehicle, yet the complete absence of recorded failures and advisories alongside the abysmal pass rate doesn't add up—this points to a systematic issue, possibly a testing anomaly, recall action, or data collection problem rather than genuine vehicle reliability. Before considering this model, verify the current MOT history directly with the DVSA or contact Subaru UK to understand what's driving these numbers, as they don't reflect normal wear-and-tear patterns.
We have 175 2023 Subaru Forester I Sport Ebxr AWD CVT vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2023 Subaru Forester I Sport Ebxr AWD CVT
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
