2017 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · EA17 YNF

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in May 2022 at 61,044 miles passed without failures, yet the tester flagged both front tyres as reaching the legal limit with uneven wear. This suggests that while the vehicle is mechanically compliant, the owner has historically deferred replacing consumable items until they neared failure rather than following a preventative service schedule. At 61,044 miles over nine years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage patterns. There is a significant gap in recorded mileage between the June 2020 test at 46,490 miles and the May 2022 test at 61,044 miles, representing roughly 7,500 miles over two years. This low annual mileage generally preserves the longevity of rubber components and suspension elements, though it does not negate the degradation associated with age. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension and braking system due to recurring issues. The June 2020 test flagged the offside rear shock absorber for oil misting and noted thin front brake pads. While these were not listed as failures in 2022, the uneven wear on the front tyres during that same period indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. A physical inspection of the shock absorbers for further leaks and a check of the brake disc thickness are necessary to ensure previous advisories were actually addressed. The bodywork damage to the nearside front and rear doors noted in 2022 also warrants examination for hidden corrosion or poor structural repairs around the impact areas.
