Known faults for Mitsubishi Mitsubishi ASX
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Excellent
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.

Our Verdict
The 2017 Mitsubishi ASX presents a mixed proposition. While its low mileage and recent MOT passes are positives, recurring brake pad wear and tyre issues suggest potential maintenance costs. Negotiate aggressively for a used model with these characteristics.
Prioritise a pre-purchase inspection focusing on brake systems and tyres. The recurring brake pad wear (noted in 2023, 2025) may indicate underlying issues with brake calipers or rotor condition. Check for a full service history to confirm maintenance consistency. Negotiate 10-15% below market value given the tyre damage history and brake system concerns. Be wary of 'clean MOT' listings - this vehicle shows patterned defects rather than isolated issues.
Diesel fuel economy averages 45-50 mpg on the motorway, making it cost-effective for long journeys. Road tax (as of 2026) applies at £140 annually for CO2 emissions above 95g/km. Insurance group 15-18 (average for diesel SUVs) suggests moderate premiums. Brake pad replacements (approx £200-£300 per axle) and tyre replacements ( £50-£80 each) will be necessary. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500 including maintenance.
Thoroughly check brake components for uneven wear or caliper sticking, particularly on the front axle where pad wear was recorded. Inspect both rear tyres for hidden damage beneath the tread, as per 2025 MOT notes. Examine the engine bay for oil or fluid leaks that might indicate aging seals. Verify the vehicle's service history to confirm brake fluid changes (recommended every 2 years). Check suspension components for wear given the age and mileage.
This 2017 Mitsubishi ASX has covered 39,459 miles (below average for its age) with a generally clean MOT history aside from brake and tyre issues. The diesel engine offers strong long-distance efficiency, but the vehicle shows signs of wear requiring inspection. No model-wide reliability data available for context.
No aggregate data available for Mitsubishi ASX models, making this vehicle's specific history critical for assessment.
