2012 Mitsubishi ASX 1.8L Diesel · WN12 JUY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance record indicates a developing trend of suspension-related wear and tear. The most recent test in September 2025 at 128,747 miles flagged light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber and an offside front inner tyre reaching the legal limit. While the vehicle passed the test, the persistence of the shock absorber leak across multiple years suggests that the damping components are gradually reaching the end of their effective service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Between October 2023 at 104,199 miles and September 2025 at 128,747 miles, the car covered 24,548 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 12,000 miles annually. This consistent interval suggests the car is used regularly, which explains the progressive degradation of rubber-based suspension and steering components noted in the historical data. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front and rear suspension assemblies. The record shows a history of worn anti-roll bar bushes and deteriorated ball joint dust covers back to 2022. Given that the offside rear shock absorber has been noted since 2024, a technician should check for more significant fluid leakage that would indicate an imminent failure. The worn offside front inner tyre also warrants a check of the wheel alignment, as uneven edge wear often points to worn suspension bushings or incorrect tracking settings.
