2010 Mitsubishi ASX 1.8L Diesel · FN60 ULO

The Mitsubishi ASX presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 19 December 2025 at 70,199 miles. A failed test occurred just nine days earlier on 10 December 2025 at 70,186 miles, though the record shows no defects listed for that failure. This suggests an administrative issue or a minor rectification that was swiftly resolved, as the subsequent test passed without any recorded faults. The absence of any advisories or defects across the entire history indicates a vehicle that has consistently met minimum structural and mechanical standards. The recorded mileage of 70,199 miles over approximately 16 years equates to an average of roughly 4,387 miles per year, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history reveals a distinct gap between November 2023 and January 2025, during which the vehicle covered approximately 2,471 miles. Following this period, mileage accumulation slowed dramatically, with only 13 miles recorded between the December 2025 tests. Such low annual usage often points to short-trip driving or prolonged standing, which can cause specific wear patterns distinct from high-mileage motorway use. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must inspect components susceptible to deterioration from low mileage and age rather than wear. Tyres and rubber suspension bushes frequently perish through cracking when a vehicle stands for extended periods, even if tread depth remains legal. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion caused by light use, which can lead to binding or juddering. Check the exhaust system for moisture-induced corrosion, a common issue on short-journey vehicles where the system fails to reach optimal operating temperature to evaporate condensation. A thorough underbody inspection for structural rust remains prudent given the vehicle's 16-year age.
