2010 Mitsubishi ASX 1.8L Diesel · MA60 UHU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 122,913 miles passed, it introduced new advisories for defective wiper blades and pitted or scored brake discs. This follows a failure in April 2024 where significant suspension and structural issues were identified. Although the vehicle has passed its tests, the recurring appearance of mechanical wear suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a failure threshold. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the records between November 2022 and April 2024, where the car covered roughly 3,800 miles over 17 months. Since then, the accumulation has remained steady, with 2,600 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 3,582 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests. This consistent usage explains typical wear on rubber components and braking hardware over the sixteen-year span. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the rear subframe. The 2024 record flagged a repair to a subframe mounting being covered in underseal, which often indicates previous structural corrosion or impact damage. An expert check is required to ensure this repair remains sound and that active rust is not spreading underneath. Additionally, the 2026 advisory for worn and scored brake discs indicates the braking hardware is nearing the end of its functional life and should be replaced shortly to maintain safety. The minor exhaust leak noted in 2025 should also be verified to ensure it has not developed into a larger failure.
