2013 Mitsubishi ASX 4 DI-D 4X4 1.8L Diesel · FX63 RYB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes in recent years. The most recent MOT test conducted on January 2024 at 96,196 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle met all legal safety standards at that time. Following a single minor failure in late 2018, the car has undergone three consecutive tests without any faults, suggesting a period of reliable maintenance by the previous owners. The mileage pattern is typical for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between the January 2020 test at 55,227 miles and the September 2022 test at 82,288 miles, where the vehicle covered over 27,000 miles in eighteen months. Since the January 2024 test, the car has travelled roughly 14,000 miles. This steady rate of use suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which often helps prevent the internal fluid degradation and component seizing associated with long periods of inactivity. While the MOT history is clean, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the suspension and drivetrain components. Given the vehicle's age and 4x4 configuration, checking for wear on control arm bushes and coil springs is essential, as these are not always flagged until they fail significantly. The buyer should also look for signs of corrosion on the underside and exhaust mounting points, as the MOT only identifies structural failures once they reach a threshold. Testing the brakes for binding calipers or uneven disc wear will ensure the clean record from early 2024 reflects the current mechanical state of the vehicle.
