2014 Mitsubishi ASX 1.8L Diesel · FN14 YCO

The Mitsubishi ASX passed its most recent MOT on 9 March 2026 at 145,602 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend shows a stable condition over the past fifteen months, though the surrounding history reveals a pattern of administrative test failures rather than mechanical defects. The vehicle cleared the March 2026 test one week after a failed attempt on 2 March at 145,601 miles where the tester logged no defects, suggesting a documentation or presentation issue rather than a worn component. Recorded mileage stands at 145,602 against a 2014 build, averaging roughly 12,134 miles per year which is high for the age and points to sustained use rather than long idle periods. The gap between the February 2025 failure at 139,041 miles and the March 2026 pass covers about 6,561 miles, a normal annual accumulation. Three failed tests in early 2025 and early 2026 all show zero defects recorded, so the data gives no evidence of rapid wear or neglected consumables such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes across that span. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the high mileage and twelve-year age, as MOT advisories on such items are absent from this record but commonly emerge unnoticed between tests. The repeated no-defect failures on 27 February 2025, 18 March 2025, and 2 March 2026 imply the previous keepers may have presented the car without valid documentation or current plates rather than addressing mechanical faults, so verify V5C and test centre notes before purchase. Given the clean defect list across all five entries, no recurring brake binding, exhaust emissions breach, or coil spring fracture is indicated. The absence of advisories does not confirm component health, so examine wishbone bushes, caliper slide movement, and tread depth in person to confirm the high-mileage drivetrain has not concealed wear the automated record omitted.
