2018 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · CP18 BCO

The 2018 Mitsubishi ASX presents a largely stable maintenance trend, with its most recent MOT conducted on 12 January 2026 at 53,496 miles resulting in a pass. That test flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, indicating uneven wear likely from misaligned tracking or neglected rotation. The vehicle has never failed an MOT, and the advisory pattern remains minor, suggesting routine use rather than mechanical neglect. The mileage progression tells a consistent story. Between the May 2022 test at 22,614 miles and the January 2026 test at 53,496 miles, the car covered 30,882 miles across roughly 3 years and 8 months, averaging approximately 8,200 miles annually in that window. Earlier years were quieter, with just 2,005 miles added between May 2022 and January 2023, then a jump of 10,352 miles by January 2024. The current annual rate of around 6,687 miles sits comfortably within typical use for an eight-year-old vehicle. No gaps in the MOT record suggest continuous annual testing without long periods off the road. The recurring theme across multiple tests is tyre wear. Front tyres were flagged in January 2026, and a nearside rear tyre drew attention in January 2024. This pattern points to a vehicle that has likely spent time on rougher roads or has had alignment left unchecked for extended periods. A buyer should inspect all four tyres closely for inner edge wear, feathering, and uneven tread depth, and request evidence of tracking adjustments. The January 2024 advisory on front brake pads wearing thin also warrants a physical check of pad thickness and disc condition, particularly if the car has been driven predominantly in stop-start conditions given its urban-friendly mileage profile. The January 2025 test noted the nearside front passenger airbag was switched off at the time of inspection. This is not a defect in itself, but a buyer should verify the airbag warning lamp behaves correctly on ignition and that no aftermarket switch or fault code is present beneath the dashboard. Structurally, the record is clean, with no corrosion, suspension, or exhaust advisories noted across any test. A thorough underbody inspection at a garage remains advisable given the vehicle's age, but the documented history suggests a car that has been maintained to a basic roadworthy standard without significant mechanical concern.
