2014 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · SD64 DGV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While it passed its latest test on 29 May 2026 at 86,833 miles, it failed just one day prior due to multiple mechanical failures including a fractured offside rear coil spring and a worn nearside front anti-roll bar linkage. The persistence of corroded brake pipes across several years indicates that the owner only addresses these issues once they reach failure threshold rather than treating the underlying corrosion early. At 86,833 miles over 12 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,236 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an SUV of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 10,500 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 12,800 miles between June 2025 and May 2026. This steady mileage suggests the car does not sit for long periods, which usually accelerates the degradation of rubber components and the oxidation of metal surfaces. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the underbody and suspension system. The record repeatedly flags corrosion on the rear sub-frame and suspension arms, dating back to June 2025. Although the tester noted these were not seriously weakened at that time, the heavy underseal mentioned in 2024 may mask advancing rust. The presence of grease on corroded brake pipes is a common tactic to hide the extent of rust, so a physical check is required to ensure the pipes are not thinning to a dangerous degree. Furthermore, the history of perishing tyres and worn components suggests that rubber bushings throughout the chassis may be nearing the end of their service life.
