The SUBARU FORESTER (2008-13) 5DR SUV 2.0D 147 X is a practical, five-door compact SUV, sitting between a family hatchback and a larger off-roader in the UK used-car market. Its raised stance, roomy cabin and diesel engine make it a sensible choice for everyday journeys, while its all-wheel drive adds confidence on slippery roads.
mycarcheck.com records 383 look-ups across 210 different VINs, a useful sample of interest in this older Forester. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £3,300, average recorded mileage of 108,000 miles and about 7,000 miles driven annually; owners had typically had nearly three previous keepers.
It suits families, commuters and outdoor-minded drivers wanting space and year-round reassurance, rather than a city car or a luxury SUV.
