2014 Mitsubishi ASX 1.8L Diesel · JS10 DOB

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care, with the most recent test in February 2026 at 91,423 miles indicating a recent pass following a failure. While the vehicle passed, the February 2026 failure at 91,407 miles highlighted issues with parking brake efficiency and worn anti-roll bar bushes. The recurring nature of tyre defects and parking brake issues suggests that maintenance is often performed only when prompted by an MOT failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. The records show steady usage from 44,404 miles in 2018 to 91,423 miles in 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, and the mileage increments between annual tests remain regular, suggesting the vehicle is used for routine commuting rather than long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the braking system and suspension components. The parking brake has failed multiple times, specifically in April 2018, February 2021, February 2023, and February 2026, which indicates a persistent mechanical or hydraulic issue. Previous records from February 2022 also flagged excessive corrosion on the brake pipes, a serious concern that requires physical inspection to ensure the lines have been adequately replaced or treated. Suspension and steering components also require close scrutiny. The history shows repeated failures and advisories regarding track rod end dust covers and ball joints dating back to 2020, alongside issues with coil springs and anti-roll bar bushes. Furthermore, the frequent advisories for perishing or cracking tyres across almost every test since 2020 suggest a tendency to run consumables to their absolute limit. A thorough check of the underside for corrosion and the condition of all rubber bushings is essential.
