The SUBARU FORESTER (2008-13) 5DR SUV 2.0D 147 XS NAVPLUS 6SPD is a practical five-door compact SUV, offering a higher driving position and useful space without the bulk of a large 4x4. In the UK used-car market, it suits buyers seeking an all-weather family car rather than a town-focused crossover. mycarcheck.com recorded 149 checks across 60 VINs, giving a snapshot of this model. The data shows an average private-sale valuation of £3,400, recorded mileage of 115,000 miles and annual mileage of 6,000 miles. Checked examples had around 3.4 previous keepers on average, so reviewing each car’s history remains important. Its diesel engine and sat-nav-equipped XS NavPlus trim suit families, commuters and rural journeys; Subaru’s four-wheel-drive reputation sets it apart from many front-wheel-drive rivals. Expect a sure-footed, versatile drive, while checking condition, service records and running costs carefully on an older, higher-mileage example. Its roomy cabin also makes longer trips easier.
