2012 Mitsubishi ASX 1.8L Diesel · WN12 JUV

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a consistent trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in May 2025 at 120,311 miles flagged multiple front brake components, including thin pads and pitted or scored discs. This follows a similar pattern seen in April 2024 where the offside rear pads were also noted as thin. While the car consistently passes its tests, the recurring brake-related defects suggest the owner only addresses components once they approach a failure threshold. The recorded mileage of 120,311 miles over 14 years averages to approximately 8,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for an SUV of this age. The data shows steady progression, with roughly 6,700 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and nearly 8,200 miles between October 2022 and April 2024. This consistency suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of stationary neglect, which helps prevent the premature degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry, as the record shows frequent issues with uneven wear and corrosion. The 2020 advisory regarding a corroded offside rear suspension rod necessitates a close look for further structural rust on the arms and subframe mounting points. Furthermore, the repeated reports of tyres worn on the edges in both 2021 and 2024 indicate potential wheel alignment issues or worn shock absorbers that have not been professionally rectified. Verify the current state of the front discs and pads to ensure the pitting noted in 2025 has actually been resolved with a completed service.
