Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a lo
Given the low mileage, your primary focus should be on ensuring the vehicle has had regular oil changes, as low-use petrol engines can sometimes suffer from sludge if service intervals are neglected. Check the service book to see if the 1.6L petrol engine has been maintained according to Mitsubishi's schedule.
When negotiating, consider the recent MOT advisories. The 2026 record notes worn front brake discs, and the 2025 record highlighted perished tyres. You should ask if these items have been addressed since the last test or if they remain outstanding, as these represent immediate maintenance costs.
The 1590cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it suitable for family use. Fuel economy for this model is typical for a non-hybrid petrol crossover of this era.
Maintenance costs should be predictable, though you should budget for regular replacement of brake components and tyres, as the MOT history indicates these are the primary areas of wear for this specific vehicle. Estimated annual running costs are moderate.
Specifically inspect the braking system; the MOT history shows a trend of thinning pads in 2024 and worn discs in 2026. Ensure the mechanic checks the thickness of both front and rear pads and the condition of the rotors.
Additionally, examine the condition of all four tyres. The 2025 MOT recorded that all tyres were cracked and perished, which can happen on vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. Check for sidewall cracking or uneven wear that might suggest previous issues with rubber age or alignment.
This 2015 Mitsubishi ASX presents with significantly below-average mileage for its age, having covered just 44,700 miles since December 2015. The MOT history is largely clean, though it shows a pattern of wear regarding brakes and tyres. The vehicle has passed every annual test since 2022 without a formal failure.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Mitsubishi ASX in this database.

Common Problems: MITSUBISHI ASX
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- DPF Clogging (1.8 DI-D)(Moderate)
The diesel particulate filter clogs quickly if the car isn't driven on the motorway regularly.
- Oil Dilution (Diesel)(Serious)
Interrupted DPF regenerations cause unburnt fuel to leak into the oil sump, raising the oil level and thinning the lubricant.
