2019 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · WM19 GGA

A persistent pattern of tyre degradation and unaddressed defects defines the recent roadworthiness history of this vehicle. While it passed its latest MOT on 29 May 2026, the record reveals a recurring trend of perishing and cracking across multiple tyres, alongside a nail in the nearside rear tyre that has been flagged in three consecutive annual tests since 2024. This indicates a trend of declining rubber integrity that has remained unresolved across several inspection cycles. The recorded mileage of 30,997 miles over approximately seven years represents a low annual average of roughly 4,428 miles. This usage profile suggests the vehicle has experienced significant periods of inactivity or very limited use. Mechanically, such low utilization often results in the degradation of rubber components through age-related weathering rather than frictional wear, which aligns with the repeated advisories regarding perishing tyre sidewalls. Immediate attention is required for the tyre set, specifically the nearside front, nearside rear, and offside rear units. The fact that a nail in the nearside rear tyre has been recorded across multiple years is a specific point of concern regarding the structural integrity of the casing. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for abnormal road noise or feel for vibrations through the steering wheel and chassis, which can be indicative of tyre deformation or uneven tread wear. Beyond the tyres, the vehicle's history is relatively stable, with only one recorded failure in May 2022 due to an ineffective nearside front windscreen wiper. A physical inspection should confirm that the wiper blades now clear the glass without streaking and that the tyres have been replaced to resolve the cracking and perishing noted in the DVSA records.
