2012 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · CE12 UAH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of progressive structural corrosion and component degradation. The most recent test in May 2026 at 59,654 miles identified corrosion on the rear sub-frame, which mirrors a defect noted in the 2025 and 2024 tests. While the vehicle passes consistently, the persistent presence of rust on both the front and rear sub-frames indicates an ongoing environmental issue that requires close monitoring. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle from 2012, averaging approximately 4,261 miles per year. The record shows consistent, incremental mileage growth, moving from 52,655 miles in May 2022 to 59,654 miles in 2026. This low usage suggests the car has not been driven extensively, but it explains the accelerated deterioration of rubber components and the oxidation of metal surfaces, as seen with the various dust covers and pitted brake discs noted throughout the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity of the sub-frames to ensure the corrosion has not progressed beyond the point of requiring welding. The history shows multiple recurring issues with suspension components, specifically severely deteriorated dust covers on ball joints and anti-roll bar linkages identified between 2024 and 2025. These parts should be verified for actual wear to prevent premature failure of the ball joints. Additionally, the rear brake discs should be checked for pitting and thickness, as the record flagged this condition in both 2022 and 2023 without suggesting they were replaced.
