MITSUBISHI ASX2014 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred repairs regarding suspension and corrosion. While the most recent test in March 2025 at 111,322 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just eleven days prior due to multiple suspension failures and lighting-related issues. The recurring presence of corroded brake pipes and deteriorated ball joint dust covers across several years suggests that the owner tends to perform the minimum work required to pass the MOT rather than engaging in preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 94,190 miles in March 2022 to 111,322 miles in March 2025. This regular usage suggests the car does not sit for long periods, which generally benefits the seals and mechanical components, though the accumulation of miles over this age explains the progressive wear on rubber components and the pitting of metal brake surfaces noted in the records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the anti-roll bar joints and suspension arm joints have failed repeatedly since 2022. The tester previously flagged inner edge wear on multiple tyres, which indicates an ongoing alignment issue or worn bushings that require immediate attention. Special focus should also be paid to the rear brake pipes; the record shows corrosion and grease coverage in 2022 and 2025, implying the structural integrity of the metal braking lines is degrading and could lead to a sudden failure if not replaced.
