If you're looking for an affordable Forester with the kind of history that actually matters, this 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium is a very strong one.

This is exactly the type of higher-mileage Subaru we like to sell: excellent documented maintenance, long-term Colorado ownership, no accidents or damage reported to CARFAX, recent transmission service, and a fresh round of Ridgeline reconditioning including four new tires and another CVT service.

CARFAX shows 31 service-history records, three previous owners, personal use, and Colorado ownership throughout its life.

EXCELLENT CARFAX HISTORY

The CARFAX is one of the strongest parts of this Forester.

CARFAX reports:

• No accidents or damage reported
• No total loss
• No structural damage reported
• No airbag deployment reported
• No indication of odometer rollback
• No open recalls reported
• No salvage title
• No rebuilt title
• No flood title
• No fire title
• No hail title
• No lemon-law title brand

It also has an unusually consistent ownership history.

The first owner kept this Forester for approximately 8 years and 2 months, followed by a second owner for another 2 years and 8 months. All three owners were in Colorado.

That long-term ownership is exactly what we like to see on a used Subaru.

31 DOCUMENTED SERVICE RECORDS

This Forester wasn't neglected.

Its history shows consistent maintenance beginning when it was almost new.

At just 5,405 miles, it received a maintenance inspection and oil change. At 13,214 miles, service included the engine air filter, cabin air filter, fluid inspection, oil change and tire check.

The pattern continued throughout its life with regular oil changes, brake inspections, safety inspections and tire checks.

At 32,719 miles, CARFAX shows:

• Maintenance inspection
• Air filter replacement
• Brake fluid flush
• Oil and filter change

At 79,735 miles, Subaru performed another inspection, checked the engine and brakes, changed the oil and even reprogrammed the transmission computer/module.

At 79,777 miles, the spark plugs were replaced.

That is exactly the kind of maintenance history we want to see.

MORE GOOD HISTORY: BRAKES, A/C, FILTERS AND MORE

At approximately 86,422 miles, the A/C compressor was replaced and the rear brakes were serviced.

At 94,199 miles, the air filter and cabin air filter were replaced along with another oil and filter service.

At 110,486 miles, the Forester received front brake pads, brake rotor resurfacing and another oil change.

This isn't a vehicle where we're trying to convince you that 133K miles doesn't matter.

We're showing you how it got to 133K miles.

TRANSMISSION FLUID SERVICE ALREADY DOCUMENTED

Another big positive: CARFAX documents a transmission fluid change at 124,448 miles in June 2024.

And then when it came to us, we decided to service the CVT again.

That matters.

RIDGELINE RECONDITIONING – $1,279 INVESTED

Before offering this Forester for sale, we put it through Ridgeline Automotive, our full-service repair facility.

Our current repair order totals $1,279.43 in inspection, maintenance and reconditioning.

Recent Ridgeline work includes:

• 4 NEW Advanta AW-03 225/65R17 tires
• Mount and balance all four tires
• New wheel stud
• New lug nut
• Subaru CVT transmission service
• 7.5 quarts of CVT fluid
• BG Transmission Quick Clean
• BG CVT Plus conditioner
• Full synthetic 0W-20 oil and filter change
• BG EPR Engine Performance Restoration
• BG MOA Advanced Formula
• New engine air filter
• Three new Bosch wiper blades
• Battery terminal service
• Complete multipoint safety inspection
• Full module scan
• Road test

FOUR BRAND-NEW TIRES

During our inspection, our technician found the existing tires were beginning to crack and had inner-edge wear.

Rather than squeeze more life out of them and leave the expense for the next owner, we replaced all four.

This Forester now has four brand-new 225/65R17 Advanta AW-03 tires, mounted and balanced.

That's a significant immediate expense already handled.

WE SERVICED THE CVT TOO

This is another part of the preparation we're particularly happy about.

We performed a drain-and-fill CVT service using:

• 7.5 quarts of CVT fluid
• BG Transmission Quick Clean
• BG CVT Plus CVT/DCT conditioner

The CVT service totaled $270.80.

On a Subaru with this mileage, having documented transmission-fluid maintenance plus a fresh Ridgeline CVT service is exactly what we'd want if we were buying the vehicle ourselves.

PREMIUM ENGINE OIL SERVICE

We also went beyond a basic oil change.

The 2.5L FB25 engine received:

• BG EPR Engine Performance Restoration
• BG MOA Advanced Formula
• 0W-20 Full Synthetic Engine Oil
• New oil filter

That means we used EPR as part of the oil-service process, then filled the engine with fresh full-synthetic oil and added BG MOA.

It's a more thorough service than simply draining the old oil and pouring in the cheapest bulk oil available.

FULL RIDGELINE INSPECTION

Our safety inspection included:

• Battery and battery cables
• Full vehicle-module scan
• Power-door operation
• Horn
• Windshield
• Wipers and washers
• Instruments and warning indicators
• Engine startup and idle
• Road-test drivability
• Seat belts
• Exterior lighting
• HVAC system
• Fluid levels
• Windows and mirrors
• Engine compartment
• Air filter
• Undercarriage
• Suspension
• Axles
• Fuel system
• Brake lines
• Exhaust
• Tires
• Front and rear brakes

The inspection also found the battery terminals needed attention, so we cleaned the corrosion, checked voltage and ensured steady electrical power.

WHY THE 2015 FORESTER?

The Forester is one of the most useful vehicles Subaru has ever built.

You get:

• Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
• 2.5L Boxer engine
• 170 horsepower
• Excellent ground clearance
• Great outward visibility
• Large cargo area
• Fold-down rear seats
• Comfortable seating for five
• Excellent Colorado winter capability
• Easy-to-drive size
• Timing-chain engine

Our service records identify this engine as the 2.5L FB25BA producing 170 horsepower.

QUARTZ BLUE PEARL OVER GRAY CLOTH

This Forester is finished in Quartz Blue Pearl over Gray cloth, a great Subaru color combination.

The Premium trim gives you a nicer level of equipment than the base model while still keeping the durable, straightforward interior many Subaru buyers prefer.

WHY WE LIKE THIS ONE

At 133,000 miles, the service history matters.

Brake-fluid service

Front and rear brake work
