2016 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · PX16 PXA

The most recent MOT (22 May 2026) was a pass at 66,657 mi, but the tester noted front suspension arms corroded (though not seriously weakened), sub‑frame corrosion, and rear brake discs worn/pitted (still within limits). A recurring theme is corrosion on the front suspension arms and sub‑frame, first flagged in 2025 and still present in 2026. Rear brake disc wear was also recorded in 2025 and again in 2026. In 2025 the vehicle failed for an inoperative off‑side rear parking brake, but the 2026 test shows no parking‑brake defect, suggesting the issue was remedied. The defect pattern is stable rather than worsening: the same corrosion items persist, but no new serious failures have appeared since the 2024 failure. Brake wear is ongoing but not yet critical. Mileage of 66,657 mi on a ten‑year‑old ASX works out to about 6,600 mi per year – squarely within normal usage. This figure alone does not indicate excessive wear, but combined with the corrosion notes it suggests the car has not been heavily abused, though periods of inactivity could have allowed rust to develop. Before buying, have a qualified mechanic: - Inspect the front suspension arms and sub‑frame for any progression of rust or structural weakening. - Measure rear brake disc thickness and check for scoring that could soon require replacement.
