2015 Mitsubishi ASX 2.3L Diesel · SN65 MWA

The Mitsubishi ASX presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 104,960 miles resulted in a clean pass with zero defects recorded. This outcome, combined with a consistent pattern of passes across the last three years, indicates the vehicle is currently in sound mechanical order with no outstanding safety or structural concerns flagged by the tester. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for an eleven-year-old vehicle. Between the November 2023 pass at 81,066 miles and the October 2025 pass at 104,960 miles, the car covered roughly 23,894 miles over approximately two years, averaging close to 12,000 miles annually. This is slightly above the overall lifetime average of 9,542 miles per year, suggesting recent use has been a little more intensive. The record shows no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would raise questions about the car having been standing idle or clocked. Buyers should note the pattern of pre-test failures on both 31 October 2024 and 31 October 2023, each followed by a pass the very next day. While no defects were recorded in either case, this pattern strongly implies minor, easily rectified issues were addressed immediately before the retest. Common culprits for such same-day corrections include blown bulbs, low screenwash, or tyre pressures. It does not point to serious mechanical neglect, but it does suggest the previous owner treated the MOT as a deadline rather than a proactive maintenance check. A physical inspection should focus on the usual wear items for a car of this age and mileage. Check the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pads, suspension bushes, and coil springs for any signs of perishing or corrosion. Inspect the underside for structural rust, particularly around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system. Given the clean recent record, major structural or mechanical failure is unlikely, but a test drive over rough surfaces will quickly reveal any developing suspension or steering wear that a static inspection might miss.
