2014 Mitsubishi ASX 1.8L Diesel · M17 PBL

The most recent MOT test, on 4 June 2025 at 105,598 miles, shows a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking at the full five-year history, the maintenance trend is stable and consistently good. Every annual test since May 2022 has passed without any recorded faults, which points to a vehicle that has been presented in sound mechanical order each year rather than one with a creeping list of worn components. The recorded mileage sits at 105,598 for a 12-year-old car, or roughly 8,800 miles per year, which is typical for a family crossover of this type. The annual intervals are well spaced: 84,744 miles in May 2022, 92,697 in June 2023, 99,992 in June 2024, and 105,598 in June 2025. That gives a steady usage pattern of roughly 5,600 to 8,000 miles per year in recent times, so there is no sign of hard, rapid accumulation or long periods of standing. The one-day turnaround between the 30 May 2022 failure and the 31 May 2022 pass, with no defects recorded on either entry, suggests a minor rectification or a procedural issue rather than a serious mechanical fault. Because the history is clean and carries no advisories, there are no recurring faults to track, which is reassuring. There is a clear absence of suspension, brake, or structural corrosion warnings across all five tests. That said, a clean MOT record only reflects the condition at the moment of each test. The last inspection was over a year ago, and as of today the vehicle is effectively due for its next annual test, so its current condition cannot be assumed from this history alone. For a buyer, the sensible approach is a fresh pre-purchase inspection. At 105,000 miles, attention should focus on brake discs and pads, suspension bushes and coil springs, tyre condition, and any signs of underbody corrosion, particularly on the rear suspension mounts and sills. None of these have been flagged in the MOT record, which is a positive sign, but a car of this age and mileage can still develop wear quickly. Given the MOT has lapsed since the June 2025 pass, budget for a new test immediately after purchase.
