2012 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · DL12 XVG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 05 August 2025 at 72,633 miles resulted in no recorded defects, following a failure just five days prior on 30 July 2025 at 72,592 miles. While the failure recorded no specific defects, it suggests a minor administrative or non-mechanical component-related issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test. Since that period, the vehicle has maintained a high standard of mechanical compliance. The mileage pattern is significantly low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,188 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 53,367 miles and August 2025 at 72,633 miles, the car covered 19,266 miles, indicating light annual use or long periods of inactivity. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-mileage on a vehicle of this age can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown due to time rather than mechanical friction. Because the MOT record shows no advisories or recurring faults regarding suspension bushes, brake calipers, or corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation. A buyer should check for perished rubber hoses and dry cracks in the suspension bushings, which often occur on vehicles that sit for extended periods. Given the low usage, verify the brake discs for surface pitting or rust, as components that are not used frequently enough to clear away surface oxidation are prone to structural decay.
