2016 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Diesel · SV66 OGX

The 2016 Mitsubishi ASX presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 29 September 2025 at 84,162 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the vehicle has sustained a fault-free test history since at least 2021. Annual mileage sits at a typical 8,416 per year for a ten-year-old vehicle. The records show consistent yearly use with no standing gaps: the tester logged 58,714 miles in September 2021, 59,567 in October 2022, 68,150 in October 2023, 72,366 in October 2024, and 84,162 in September 2025. The largest single-year increase was roughly 8,600 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, well within normal parameters. The sparse but clean history offers no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken pass record. The absence of advisories means worn suspension bushes, corroding subframes, or fatigued coil springs were not flagged, yet ten years of age invites latent structural rust on sills and brake line degradation invisible in a pass-only log. Verify brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as binding calipers or thin discs escape detection until they breach limits. Given the clean MOT trail, prior owners appear to have maintained the ASX to minimum legal standard rather than pursuing proactive overhaul. Inspect the exhaust emissions system and tyre sidewalls for age cracking, and confirm the underbody shows no untreated corrosion before purchase.
