2012 Mitsubishi ASX 1.8L Diesel · SD62 HSU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the clean results of the last three MOT examinations. The most recent test in September 2021 at 117,359 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met the required standards at that time. While the vehicle has lacked a recorded test for nearly five years, the historical data suggests a period of consistent maintenance prior to that gap. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual-use figures, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. There is a significant jump of 14,604 miles recorded between August 2019 and September 2020, followed by a similar increase of 14,388 miles in the following year. The lack of MOT data since September 2021 is the primary concern, as the vehicle has now operated without an official roadworthiness check for several years. This masks the current state of the rubber components, braking system, and structural integrity after 117,359 miles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and suspension components, as the 2019 failure at 88,375 miles for low nearside rear tyre tread indicates a previous lapse in basic consumable upkeep. Given the age and mileage of the ASX, a thorough check for corrosion on the rear subframe and exhaust system is necessary as these are common areas of failure on this model. Verify the brake discs and calipers for binding or thinning, as the record does not detail the physical condition of the braking hardware beyond the final pass/fail status.
