2016 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Diesel · CS02 AFS

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of recurring corrosion and wear-related failures. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 158,771 miles passed with only an advisory for a nearside front tyre, previous records show a pattern of reactive maintenance. The transition from a multi-point failure in early 2024 to a pass in early 2025 suggests that faults are addressed only after failing an MOT test, rather than through preventative servicing. At 158,771 miles over ten years, this Mitsubishi ASX has clocked high mileage, averaging nearly 16,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent and heavy usage, with 21,381 miles covered between January 2024 and February 2025, and another 21,395 miles in the subsequent fourteen months. This high-frequency use typically puts significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is reflected in the frequent reports of deteriorating brake lines and suspension bushes. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and fuel lines. The record repeatedly flagged corroded brake pipes on both axles starting in 2023, with a damaged offside rear brake cable noted in 2025. These issues suggest environmental corrosion, potentially from salt use on roads, which can lead to structural pipe failure if not monitored. Furthermore, the 2024 failure regarding worn anti-roll bar pins and bushes indicates that the suspension geometry is reaching the end of its functional life, requiring a check for play in the control arms and dampers.
