2018 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Diesel · WP18 RZC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean MOT pass in February 2026 at 88,858 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a minor failure in January of the same year, where the car was initially rejected solely due to a broken plastic link on the offside rear headlamp levelling device. The resolution of all previous defects suggests the current owner is responsive to addressing safety failures once they are identified by the tester. The mileage profile remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,100 miles per year. There is a notable gap of nearly 9,500 miles between February 2024 and February 2025, followed by another 10,000 miles leading into the early 2025-2026 period. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which generally helps prevent internal degradation of seals and components caused by moisture-related corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension assembly, as the February 2025 test flagged worn anti-roll bar pins and bushes on both rear sides. While these did not result in a failure at that time, they indicate the beginning of rubber component fatigue that will eventually require replacement. Additionally, the rear braking system should be checked thoroughly, as the 2024 record noted thin brake pads at 69,267 miles, and the significant mileage driven since then suggests that new components may now be required.
