2015 Mitsubishi ASX 1.8L Diesel · PY15 OOX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in May 2026 at 106,921 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a significant failure in April 2025. While the 2024 and 2026 tests were clean, the 2025 failure indicates a period where mechanical attention lapsed, though the previous owner addressed these faults to achieve the subsequent passing result. At 106,921 miles over eleven years, the ASX has averaged approximately 9,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent usage patterns with roughly 13,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 9,000 miles between 2025 and 2026. This regularity suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps preserve rubber components and mechanical seals. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension and braking systems due to recurring issues. The 2023 test flagged severely deteriorated ball joint dust covers on both front corners, and the 2025 failure identified a fractured offside rear coil spring alongside excessive play in a track rod end. These faults suggest that the suspension geometry is prone to accelerated wear. The 2025 failure also highlighted inadequate parking brake efficiency and nearside rear braking effort, requiring a physical check to ensure the caliper or cable-related issues have been fully rectified. The 2026 report notes that the underbody and components are protected by underseal, which is a positive indicator for the structural integrity of a vehicle of this age. Despite this, a physical inspection should verify that no new corrosion has developed on the suspension arms or exhaust, as the history shows these areas are previous points of concern for this vehicle. Testing the parking brake during a test drive is essential to confirm the repairs made after 2025 remain effective.
