2021 Mitsubishi ASX Exceed 4X4 CVT 2.0L Petrol · WM70 GJO

The Mitsubishi ASX presents a stable and unblemished mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent test on 17 December 2025 at 108,370 miles. Zero defects were recorded, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards without any immediate advisories. This consistent record of passing without issue suggests the previous owner maintained the car adequately, addressing wear items before they became critical failures. The mileage accumulation is notably high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 21,674 miles annually. Between the test on 4 January 2024 at 62,986 miles and the test on 19 December 2024 at 87,089 miles, the car covered 24,103 miles in just under twelve months. This rate continued into 2025, adding a further 21,281 miles by the December test. Such consistent, heavy use points to prolonged motorway driving rather than short urban trips, which typically reduces engine and brake wear compared to stop-start commuting, though it places significant demand on consumables and drivetrain components. Despite the flawless MOT record, the high mileage demands a rigorous physical inspection of components that wear predictably over 100,000 miles. Closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as high-mileage 4x4s often suffer from premature deterioration in these areas, even if they pass the basic MOT shake test. Verify the CVT transmission fluid history, since neglected changes in high-mileage units can lead to juddering or failure. Measure the brake discs and pads for remaining life, given the sheer volume of miles covered in the last two years. Scrutinise the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, along with the exhaust system for any signs of corrosion or blowing joints that might not yet constitute a testable defect. Inspect the structural integrity around the subframes and load-bearing points for surface rust, ensuring the high usage has not accelerated corrosion beyond surface oxidation.
