2016 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · KU66 NEN

Recurring issues with oil seepage and brake component wear define the mechanical profile of this Mitsubishi ASX, which most recently passed its MOT on 23 June 2026. The inspection history shows a persistent pattern of advisories regarding an oil leak that has been noted in consecutive tests since at least June 2025, alongside ongoing concerns regarding the condition of the front brake discs. While the vehicle has successfully cleared its tests, the presence of long-term advisories for oil leaks and pitted or scored brake discs suggests these components are in a state of progressive wear rather than being fully resolved. The vehicle has covered 103,213 miles over its ten-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 10,321 miles. This mileage is consistent with typical domestic usage for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of use suggests that consumable components such as suspension bushes, tyres, and braking systems will be subject to standard wear and tear, which is reflected in the recorded history of tyre wear and brake component advisories. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the underside of the engine and the sump area to monitor the oil leak noted in the 2025 and 2026 records. During a test drive, it is essential to evaluate the braking performance for any signs of judder or vibration, which could indicate the pitted or scored front brake discs mentioned in the latest report. Additionally, given the 2024 advisory regarding a corroded rear brake pipe, the integrity of the hydraulic lines should be visually inspected for signs of heavy corrosion or surface degradation that could lead to future failure. Further attention should be directed toward the steering and suspension components, specifically following the 2024 minor defect regarding a damaged nearside track rod end ball joint dust cover. On the road, listen for any clicking or knocking sounds when turning the steering wheel or traversing uneven surfaces, which may indicate wear in the steering linkages or suspension bushes. The condition of the wing mirror assemblies should also be noted, as recent records indicate damage and loose casings on the nearside and offside mirrors.
