2016 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · CV66 ACO

The 2016 Mitsubishi ASX demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-11-17 assessment at 38,774 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2023 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. No advisories or critical failures were flagged, suggesting the vehicle has been well-cared for in terms of basic mechanical systems, tyres, and emissions. The absence of recurring faults implies no immediate risks to structural integrity, braking, or suspension. The vehicle’s mileage of 38,774 miles at 10 years old averages 3,877 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could reflect light driving or extended periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, brake calipers, and suspension bushes. Notably, the 2023-01-12 test at 26,855 miles preceded a 2023-11-27 test at 28,711 miles, a 1,856-mile increase over 10 months, suggesting intermittent use. Gaps between tests, such as 10 months between 2023-11-27 and 2024-11-19, may indicate periods of storage, which could accelerate wear on non-moving parts. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage does not preclude age-related degradation. Brake systems should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car was stored, as inactivity can lead to seized calipers or warped discs. Underbody rust, though not flagged in MOT records, warrants scrutiny given the vehicle’s age. No advisories on tyres or emissions were recorded, but tread depth and exhaust integrity should be verified independently to confirm compliance with current standards.
