2017 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · LB17 GVU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend despite minor recurring consumable failures. The most recent test conducted in June 2025 at 37,398 miles resulted in a pass with an advisory regarding the rear wiper and an obstruction caused by a child seat preventing belt inspection. This follows a previous failure in the June 2023 test at 28,785 miles for a defective front windscreen wiper, which was rectified prior to the subsequent pass. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,155 miles per annum. Data shows consistent but low-intensity usage, with 4,506 miles recorded between the June 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 4,613 miles between June 2023 and 2025. This pattern suggests short-distance trips which limit mechanical wear on the drivetrain, though low-mileage vehicles can suffer from degradation of rubber components and brake fluid during periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and rubber bushings, as low-mileage often results in flat spotting or perished suspension elements. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the tester should verify the brake discs for pitting or rust due to infrequent use. The recurring mention of child seats during inspections indicates the buyer should ensure no aftermarket modifications obstruct the seatbelt mechanisms, as these prevented full access during three of the last three tests.
