2017 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · SP67 LTN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in October 2025 at 73,213 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern where the owner addresses critical failures immediately upon detection. While the car failed the test just one mile prior due to an offside front track rod end ball joint with excessive play, the subsequent pass indicates the repair was completed. This suggests the owner is willing to fund safety-critical repairs rather than necessarily following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 73,213 miles over nine years, the ASX has averaged approximately 8,135 miles per year. This mileage aligns with typical annual usage for a family SUV of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between the September 2023 and October 2024 tests, and another 11,788 miles recorded in the most recent year. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is not sat for long periods, which prevents premature degradation of rubber components. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension due to recurring issues in the history. The 2023 and 2024 tests both flagged thin rear brake pads, with the 2024 test also noting pitted and scored rear discs. This indicates a tendency to allow braking components to run to the end of their life before replacement. Additionally, the frequent advisories regarding tyres worn to the legal limit or uneven edges across multiple years suggest potential alignment issues or deferred maintenance on basic consumables. A physical inspection should verify the current state of the suspension bushes and ensure the recently replaced track rod end has not resulted in uneven wear on the front tyres.
