Forester STI capable of high mileage?
Considering a forester STI as our only do it all daily car. There is a car local but it has 85000 miles and is mapped running 310bhp with 365ft lbs. Is this likely to be a ticking time bomb with the 2.5?
It won't cover many miles as I cycle to work and my wife will just use it for about town. |

They will need looking after, so you're going to want to see a nice thick wedge of service history, preferably by a specialist.
But they are capable of high miles. |
Had a widetrack STI but miss the noise and the power, currently have a 2012 Legacy which is nice and massive inside but it's a bit slow.

The 2.5 issues appear to be more a case of if, rather than when. So they are as likely to fail at 80k as they are at 130k. That being said, I'd still budget for a full rebuild at some point during your ownership.
