LOW MILEAGE | 2 OWNERS | EXTENSIVE SUBARU MAIN DEALER HISTORY | PETROL | 4WD

2012 Subaru Forester 2.0 XS 4WD Euro 5 5dr, finished in red with just 53,200 miles, only 2 owners from new, petrol, manual and ULEZ compliant.

If you’re looking for a proper, straightforward 4x4 with low mileage and exceptional provenance, this is exactly the sort of car worth finding.

The standout feature is the EXTENSIVE SUBARU MAIN DEALER SERVICE HISTORY. The original service book is packed with Subaru dealer stamps, predominantly from Europa Subaru Sheffield, showing a remarkable level of continuity throughout its life.

Recorded services include approximately:

2013 – 5,708 miles
2014 – 12,369 miles
2015 – 15,472 miles
2016 – 19,648 miles
2017 – 24,621 miles
2018 – 28,xxx miles
2019 – 32,098 miles
2020 – 36,561 miles

And importantly, the Subaru dealer history continues much later, with further documented services at Europa Subaru Sheffield in September 2023 and September 2024.

There is also a further 2025 service entry in the book.

That’s exactly what we want to see – a low-mileage Forester that hasn’t simply sat forgotten between MOTs, but has continued to receive regular attention from Subaru specialists/main dealers.

Powered by Subaru’s 2.0-litre petrol engine, paired with a manual gearbox and Subaru’s proper four-wheel-drive system, it’s a refreshingly traditional alternative to today’s complicated diesel and hybrid SUVs.

With just 53,200 miles and 2 owners, examples with this combination of mileage, ownership and Subaru history are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Practical, capable, comfortable and built with the sort of engineering that gave Subaru its reputation.
