2016 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · FX66 WVL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 55,657 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just one week prior at 55,500 miles. This failure highlighted significant steering and suspension issues, including excessive play in both track rod ends and a perished linkage boot cover. The fact that these components were addressed simultaneously suggests the owner only corrects faults when forced by the MOT tester rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 55,657 miles, this ten-year-old Mitsubishi ASX has covered relatively low mileage, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The mileage progression is consistent, with roughly 5,000 miles driven between the the September 2024 and September 2025 tests. However, low mileage often correlates with the accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals due to age, which is evidenced by the recurring issues with anti-roll bar bushes and the oil leak noted in the 2024 and 2025 records. A buyer should personally inspect the engine bay for signs of active oil weeping, as the tester has flagged a non-excessive leak in two consecutive years. The suspension requires a close look; given the history of failed track rod ends and worn anti-roll bar components, the buyer should check for knocks or play during a test. Additionally, the pattern of uneven tyre wear on the front axle in 2022 and 2025 indicates a persistent alignment issue that should be verified to avoid premature replacement of new tyres.
