2010 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · CK60 LDO

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026‑02‑04 at 78,730 miles, but the test recorded several advisories: rear sub‑frame corrosion (5.3.3(b)(i)), a rear brake pipe corroded and covered in grease (1.1.11(c)), undertray condition and an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit (5.2.3(e)). The pattern of defects shows a stable to mildly worsening trend, with corrosion and wear issues persisting or emerging in recent tests rather than resolving. From 2014 to 2026 the mileage rose from 33,663 to 78,730 miles, averaging roughly 4,900 miles per year. This low annual figure is unusual for a 2010 model and indicates light use or extended periods of storage. MOT entries have been annual, traditionally around September, though the latest test fell in February 2026, suggesting a slight shift in timing but maintaining regular coverage. No sudden mileage spikes appear, confirming a steady, low‑intensity usage pattern. A buyer should inspect the rear sub‑frame for active corrosion, examine the rear brake pipe for rust and improper lubrication, verify the undertrays are present and undamaged, and check the offside rear tyre tread against the 1.6 mm limit. The track rod end dust covers and ball joints merit close scrutiny for deterioration, as do the brake pads and discs for thin wear. A comprehensive chassis walk‑around will reveal any further rust progression or suspension wear that the advisories hint at. Overall, the car remains roadworthy, yet the collection of advisories points to ageing corrosion and consumable wear that demand thorough pre‑purchase checks. The low mileage reduces stress on drivetrain and suspension, but the identified defects require careful verification to ensure structural integrity and reliable braking performance.
