2014 Mitsubishi ASX 1.8L Diesel · CP14 ECY

The 2026 MOT record presents a clear deterioration in roadworthiness, with the vehicle failing the test at 98,778 miles on the most recent date, marking the definitive end of the current inspection cycle. This is a significant decline from the 121,568 miles passed on February 6, 2026, indicating that the vehicle has experienced a substantial accumulation of wear since the initial pass. The failure at the end of the 2026 test suggests that the vehicle's mechanical condition has become progressively more severe, with no evidence of a stabilizing trend; rather, the issues have only worsened over the past three years. The mileage accumulation is not uniform, with notable gaps and rapid growth observed between 2023 and 2026. The vehicle accumulated approximately 10,000 miles in the first year of the 2026 test, which is consistent with normal usage but raises questions about the maintenance schedule. The rapid mileage increase during the 2023–2026 period suggests that the owner may have been neglecting routine servicing, particularly concerning suspension components, brake pads, and tire wear, leading to the corrosion and damage recorded in the 2026 test. Given the recurring faults such as rear sub-frame corrosion, brake disc pitting, and inner suspension arm corrosion, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of these specific components. The presence of corrosion on the rear sub-frame and brake pipes indicates that these areas have been neglected over the past three years, potentially leading to catastrophic failure. The inner suspension arm corrosion and the dust cover damage on the nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage further highlight a lack of proactive maintenance, which could compromise the vehicle's structural integrity and braking performance.
