2010 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · FP60 ENE

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness status is currently good, as the most recent MOT test on 2023-04-06 passed at 96,018 miles without defects. However, the maintenance trend is not stable; it is deteriorating, evidenced by the failure of the 2020-02-18 test at 85,685 miles where the Front Brake disc was found worn, pitted or scored, and the Front Brake pad worn thin. This indicates that basic upkeep was likely skipped during the 2020-02-18 inspection, suggesting a progressive loss of mechanical integrity. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle is approximately 16 years old and has accumulated roughly 6,001 miles per year. While the 2023 and 2022 tests passed at very high mileage, the 2020-02-18 test shows a significant gap in the 85,685-mile mark, which is unusually high for an 16-year-old vehicle. This sharp rise in mileage suggests rapid wear on consumables and components that have not been inspected in a proper interval, rather than a gradual accumulation of wear over time. In conclusion, the buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical risks, specifically focusing on the brake systems and suspension bushings, which have been flagged as worn and pitted in the 2020-02-18 test. Given the history of a failed MOT and the presence of corrosion and wear on these components, a second MOT is strongly advised to confirm whether the braking and suspension systems remain sound or if they are deteriorating further.
