About this car

This 2009 Subaru Forester XC has covered 84,000 miles. Priced at £2,195, this car is advertised £2,251 below the AskCar estimate of £4,446. This is a large price difference, so check the price and vehicle details with the dealer. The AskCar estimate uses UK dealer asking prices, including 262 Subaru Forester adverts, and accounts for the car’s age, mileage and specification. We first saw this car advertised 35 days ago. Its asking price has since fallen by £1,000. The recorded MOT expired on 19 September 2026, so ask the dealer whether it has been renewed. We checked its advertised mileage against the government's MOT record, and they match. You can find this car at Pinewood Automotive in Reading. How to contact the dealer and its opening hours are on this AskCar page.
