Why a history check matters on a Subaru Forester

Forester is the go-to SUV for active outdoor lifestyles — many examples have spent their lives towing trailers or carrying kayaks on the roof, which puts extra strain on the AWD system and CVT transmission. Verify the towing history isn't hidden, and check NEVDIS for any registration breaks that might indicate off-road damage.

Common issues to verify on a used Subaru Forester

Model-specific reliability concerns based on owner reports and manufacturer service bulletins. Use these as a checklist when inspecting a Forester privately, and check the dealer service history for evidence each item has been addressed.

  1. CVT transmission failures on SJ generation (2013-2018) around 150,000+ km
  2. Head gasket weeping on FB25 boxer engine (mid-life maintenance item)
  3. Wheel-bearing wear higher than segment average due to AWD
  4. X-Mode software glitch on 2019+ — fixed via dealer update
