2013 Mitsubishi ASX 1.8L Diesel · WR62 VJX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 136,728 miles identified several mechanical weaknesses, including thin rear brake pads and deteriorated anti-roll bar components. While the car passed, the accumulation of advisories across the last three years suggests that components are only addressed once they approach the point of failure, rather than being replaced during routine service intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 97,531 miles and December 2025 at 136,728 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 40,000 miles. This steady usage explains the progressive wear observed on consumables like brake discs and suspension bushings. There are no significant gaps in the testing schedule, suggesting the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting for long periods. A prospective buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension and braking system. The record shows recurring issues with pitted brake discs and deteriorated ball joint dust covers dating back to 2022, with the 2025 test specifically flagging thin rear pads and worn anti-roll bar bushes. The surface corrosion noted on rear suspension components in October 2024 requires close attention to ensure that rust has not progressed into deep structural decay, which is a common risk for vehicles of this age and mileage.
