2017 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Diesel · GV66 VNP

Based on the DVSA MOT records, this 2017 Mitsubishi ASX presents a mixed maintenance profile. The most recent test, conducted on 23 October 2025 at 105,267 miles, resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged front brake discs as worn and slightly corroded. This advisory, combined with a recurring pattern of brake and tyre wear throughout the history, suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a basic legal standard rather than a preventative one. The trend is not worsening, but it is not resolving either; it remains stable with persistent, predictable wear items appearing at nearly every test. The mileage accumulation is linear and typical for a vehicle of this age. Between the November 2021 test at 28,818 miles and the October 2025 test at 105,267 miles, the vehicle covered 76,449 miles in just under four years, averaging roughly 19,100 miles annually during that period. This is notably higher than the overall lifetime average of approximately 11,700 miles per year, indicating a significant increase in use during the last ownership phase. The MOT record is complete with no gaps, providing a reliable chronological service history. A buyer inspecting this vehicle in person should focus heavily on the braking system. Front brake discs were flagged as worn and corroded in October 2025 and again in October 2023 at 58,839 miles. The October 2023 test also identified worn rear brake discs and rear brake pads wearing thin. This frequency suggests the braking components are operating at their service limits and require immediate measurement of disc thickness and pad depth. Suspension integrity also warrants physical examination. The October 2023 test recorded a worn offside rear anti-roll bar pin or bush. While the tester noted no excessive movement at that time, a nine-year-old vehicle with over 105,000 miles will likely have degraded suspension bushes and drop links that a static inspection can reveal. Tyre management appears to be a recurring weak point. The vehicle failed or received advisories for tyre wear on four separate occasions, specifically on the front tyres in October 2024 and October 2022, and on the rear tyres in October 2023. A nail was also found in the nearside rear tyre during the 2023 test. This pattern implies the previous owner replaced tyres only when legally required rather than proactively. A buyer should check the date codes and tread depth of all four tyres, including the spare if fitted, and inspect the inner edges for uneven wear that could indicate tracking or suspension geometry issues.
