2014 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · CP14 ECW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 81,963 miles, the car initially failed due to thin rear inner brake pads and pitted rear discs. These issues were rectified to secure a pass, yet the recurring nature of brake-related faults suggests the owner only addresses mechanical defects when they reach an MOT failure threshold rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 81,963 miles over twelve years, the Mitsubishi ASX has averaged approximately 6,830 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-to-moderate usage. The mileage data shows steady usage intervals, with roughly 5,500 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 5,400 miles in the following twelve months. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been overworked, though the age-related degradation of rubber components and brake hardware remains a factor despite the modest mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension, as the October 2023 test at 71,042 miles flagged severely deteriorated ball joint dust covers on both sides. While these were likely replaced, the failure of multiple boots simultaneously often indicates age-related perished rubber across the entire front assembly. Furthermore, the braking system requires close attention; the history shows pitting and scoring discs on both the front in 2023 and the rear in 2025. You must verify that the calipers are not binding and that the current rear pads have sufficient life, as the record shows a history of letting these components run to their limit.
