2014 Mitsubishi ASX 1.8L Diesel · WR14 EHD

The 2014 Mitsubishi ASX demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT, recorded on 2025-10-13 at 47,175 miles, which passed without defects. A review of the last three annual tests shows consistent compliance, with two consecutive passes in 2025 and 2023, and a single failure in 2024-10-10 that also listed no defects. This suggests the vehicle has maintained acceptable mechanical condition, though the unexplained failure in October 2024 warrants scrutiny to confirm if it was a procedural error or an overlooked issue. No recurring structural or safety-critical faults are evident from the record. The vehicle’s mileage of 47,175 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 3,931 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage aligns with the consistent 4,000–4,500-mile annual increments between MOT tests, indicating minimal wear on consumables like tyres and fluids. However, the 2024-10-10 failure occurred just three days after a 2024-10-14 pass at nearly identical mileage (43,607 vs. 43,606), raising questions about the accuracy of the data or potential temporary issues. The sparse defect history suggests the owner prioritized basic maintenance, though no major mechanical concerns are documented. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without immediate MOT failures. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be inspected for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often manifest gradually. Structural integrity remains unconfirmed by the record, so a thorough underbody check for rust or damage is advisable. While the MOT history reflects responsible upkeep, the lack of detailed defect reports means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’sTrue mechanical state.
