2015 Mitsubishi ASX 3 DI-D 1.8L Diesel · WP64 LGE

The Mitsubishi ASX presents a strong, stable maintenance trend with no recorded defects across five consecutive MOT tests. The most recent examination, conducted on 23 August 2025 at 87,693 miles, passed cleanly with zero advisories or failures. This pattern of consistent, defect-free results spanning over six years indicates the vehicle has been properly maintained and shows no signs of worsening mechanical deterioration. The mileage accumulation is steady and predictable. Between the 2019 test at 51,590 miles and the 2025 test at 87,693 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 36,103 miles over six years, averaging around 6,017 miles annually during that period. The yearly increments between recorded tests range from roughly 4,800 to 5,900 miles, with no sudden spikes suggesting prolonged high-use periods or suspicious odometer discrepancies. The overall annualised average of approximately 7,972 miles across the vehicle's eleven-year lifespan sits comfortably within normal usage parameters for a diesel family SUV. Despite the clean MOT history, the vehicle is now eleven years old, and age-related deterioration can develop between annual tests. A buyer should inspect the underside thoroughly for corrosion on subframes, suspension mounting points, and brake lines, as these are common failure points on Mitsubishi ASX models of this generation. Check the condition of the rear brake calipers and discs, as binding rear brakes are a known issue on this platform. Examine all suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, particularly if the vehicle has spent time on rough roads or speed bumps at speed. The diesel particulate filter and exhaust system should also be assessed for efficiency, given the relatively low annual mileage, which can lead to DPF clogging from short journeys. Tyre condition and tread depth warrant close attention, as uneven wear may indicate alignment or suspension geometry issues not yet severe enough to trigger an MOT advisory. Test the clutch operation and gearbox for smooth engagement, and listen for any whining from the drivetrain that could indicate early bearing wear. Overall, the documented record is highly encouraging, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic remains advisable to catch any developing issues before they become costly repairs.
