2014 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · LS14 AZW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 19 May 2026 at 83,638 miles resulted in a failure due to front tyre wear and perished anti-roll bar linkage. While the vehicle passed the immediate retest, the presence of these faults suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach a point of legal failure. At 83,638 miles over 12 years, the ASX averages approximately 7,000 miles per annum, which is consistent with low-to-moderate usage for a family SUV. The data shows steady progression, with roughly 5,400 miles covered between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 6,900 miles covered in the final year. This consistent mileage pattern suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme-distance stress or long periods of neglect, though the low mileage does not exempt the vehicle from age-related degradation of rubber-related components. A buyer should inspect the front suspension closely, as the failure of the anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers indicates that rubber components are beginning to perish. The tester also noted both front tyres were worn on the edge in 2026, which often points to an alignment issue or worn shock absorbers that require physical inspection to confirm. The 2024 failure regarding a damaged offside front valve stem is a specific mechanical fault that was resolved, but the buyer should check for air leaks or uneven bead seating to ensure the repair was executed correctly.
