2017 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · YS17 ABN

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 22 July 2026 shows a pass, but the maintenance trend indicates emerging issues with the braking system. While the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests showed no defects, the latest inspection introduced two advisories regarding corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear brake pipes. The tester noted these pipes were covered in grease or other material, which can mask the extent of the degradation. The vehicle has covered 45,228 miles over its nine-year lifespan, averaging approximately 5,025 miles per year. This represents low annual mileage for a 2017 model. The MOT records show consistent annual testing between July 2023 and July 2026, with no significant gaps in the inspection history. The 2024 test at an unspecified mileage included a failure due to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, though this was rectified to achieve a pass on the same day. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking system. Because the 2026 advisory specifically mentions corrosion on the brake pipes, the condition of the metalwork and the integrity of the fluid lines require close scrutiny to ensure the corrosion has not progressed beyond the surface. The presence of grease or sealant on these pipes suggests an attempt to hide or protect the area, so checking for structural integrity and the quality of the corrosion protection is necessary. The mechanical history is relatively stable, but the shift from clean records in 2025 to corrosion advisories in 2026 marks a change in the vehicle's condition. Beyond the brake pipes, the low mileage suggests that components like suspension bushes or tyres may have aged due to time rather than wear, though the 2024 TPMS failure indicates some electronic sensor issues have occurred previously.
