2018 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Diesel · SB68 MYF

This 2018 Mitsubishi ASX shows an average annual mileage of approximately 8,500 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. While this suggests consistent use, the recent MOT history indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where maintenance requirements are increasing significantly. The MOT trend is concerning, as the vehicle has failed its last two annual inspections. The 2024 history highlights issues with suspension components and brake pipe corrosion, while the 2026 history shows a cluster of tyre-related defects and brake pad wear. The presence of corroded brake pipes covered in grease is a major red flag, as this is often a sign of a temporary "quick fix" rather than a permanent repair, potentially masking deeper structural degradation. The recurring pattern of failures suggests that the vehicle has not been maintained to a high standard. The transition from a clean pass in 2025 to a multi-item failure in 2026 indicates that the mechanical condition is worsening. The fact that the vehicle required multiple tyre replacements and brake work in a single year suggests either hard driving or a lack of proactive servicing. You should inspect the brake lines immediately. Look for signs of fresh grease or underseal applied to the metal pipes, which could be hiding significant rot.
