2016 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Diesel · YW65 ADU

This Mitsubishi ASX demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 25 March 2026 at 80,329 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a rapid rectification of a minor issue. The vehicle has maintained a clean bill of health across four consecutive years of testing. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a ten year old vehicle. It covered 17,387 miles between March 2023 and March 2026, averaging roughly 5,800 miles per year in the most recent period. The jump from 65,531 miles in March 2024 to 73,000 miles in March 2025 indicates a steady usage pattern without any erratic spikes or prolonged periods of standing that would typically cause seal perishment or battery degradation. The absence of any advisories or failures regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion over the last four years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance by the previous owner. The lack of recurring faults means there are no specific mechanical red flags highlighted in the DVSA data. A physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that MOT testers sometimes overlook or that do not trigger a failure. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the depth of the brake pads to ensure they are not nearing their legal limits. Inspect the underside for any surface corrosion on the chassis and verify the service history for oil changes and filter replacements to ensure the engine has been maintained beyond the basic legal requirements.
