2013 Mitsubishi ASX 1.8L Diesel · WR62 VJY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on July 30 2025 at 81,685 miles resulted in an initial failure due to low headlamp aim and corrosion on all four brake pipes. While the vehicle passed upon immediate re-test, the presence of grease covering corroded pipes near the calipers suggests an attempt to mask surface rust rather than address the underlying structural degradation of the hydraulic lines. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's thirteen-year age, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 60,362 miles and July 2025 at 81,685 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 21,000 miles. This steady usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which often leads to accelerated brake corrosion, yet the low annual mileage explains the recurring issues with surface surface components seen in the records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system. The record shows a persistent history of pitted and scored brake discs across all four corners from 2022 through 2024, indicating either long periods of sitting or a failure to replace components before they deteriorated significantly. The 2025 failure regarding corroded brake pipes is a primary concern; an inspector should check for thinning metal on the lines and ensure that the grease mentioned is not hiding deep-seated structural decay. Furthermore, the recurring edge wear on tyres noted in 2022 and 2023 suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to avoid further premature wastage.
