2020 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · NA69 FBE

The most recent MOT in January 2026 shows a pass, but it highlights that the front brake discs are worn and the front brake pads are becoming thin. This follows a consistent history of maintenance being required for consumable parts. There is a clear, recurring pattern of issues regarding tyres and brakes. Since 2024, every MOT has flagged problems with tyres cracking or perishing, and brake components have been a persistent concern. The vehicle failed its MOT in early 2025 because the brake pads and discs on both the front and rear were worn down to the indicators, and all four tyres were noted for cracking, perishing, or being near the legal limit. The condition trend looks to be worsening or, at the very least, shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. Instead of being replaced during regular servicing, components like brakes and tyres appear to be addressed only when they reach the point of failure or legal non-compliance. The mileage of approximately 38,667 miles is typical for a six-year-old vehicle. However, the repeated mention of tyres cracking and perishing suggests the car may spend long periods stationary, which can cause rubber to degrade regardless of how little the vehicle is driven. You should first inspect the condition of all four tyres, looking specifically for sidewall cracking or perishing.
