2016 Mitsubishi ASX 1.8L Diesel · UPP 1

A pattern of increasing wear on front-end consumables has emerged in the recent history of this vehicle, following several years of clean records. While the most recent test on 20 November 2025 resulted in a pass, the volume of advisories has grown, specifically targeting the braking system and tyre condition. This indicates a current trend of increasing wear on high-use components compared to the defect-free results seen in 2022 and 2023. The recorded mileage of 102,223 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,222 miles per year. This steady accumulation suggests a typical usage profile, which generally correlates with expected wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and braking systems. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or sudden spikes in mileage that would indicate unusual periods of standing or extreme heavy-duty use. Immediate attention is required for the front braking system and tyres, as the latest records highlight worn and pitted front brake discs, thin brake pads, and front tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edges. During a test drive, the buyer should be alert for any pedal judder or grinding noises during deceleration, which would confirm the deterioration of the discs. The uneven wear on the tyre edges should be physically inspected, as this can sometimes be associated with alignment issues or worn suspension components. The 2024 record flagged an oil leak described as not excessive, which warrants a thorough inspection of the engine bay and the ground beneath the vehicle after it has been stationary. A physical check should focus on the gaskets and seals to determine if the leak has persisted or worsened since November 2024. Monitoring for any smell of burning oil during the test drive is also advised to ensure oil is not leaking onto hot exhaust components.
