2019 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · KX19 LKM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward deferred consumable repairs. While it passed the most recent test in November 2025 at 45,331 miles, the tester flagged thin front brake pads and worn, pitted rear brake discs alongside a perished nearside rear tyre. This follows a defect from September 2024 at 43,659 miles where thin rear pads were already noted, indicating a pattern of neglecting brake service. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-useage suburban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between June 2022 and August 2023, where the car covered only 3,649 miles over fourteen months. The initial failure in June 2022 at 36,596 miles due to illegal tyre tread depth suggests that while the vehicle has not faced high mechanical strain, the age of the rubber components and metal surfaces is beginning to manifest as the mechanical issues seen in the more recent inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the recurring issues with pads and scored discs suggest the owner has only replaced components when they reached failure limits rather than following a preventative schedule. The nearside rear tyre should be checked for sidewall cracking, as the 2025 advisory confirms the rubber is perishing despite the low mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, the suspension bushes and rubber mounts should also be inspected for cracking, as low-mileage cars suffer from age-related material degradation.
