2015 Mitsubishi ASX 2.3L Diesel · WR65 GJJ

The 2015 Mitsubishi ASX presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 20 October 2025 at 107,888 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and environmental standards. While the record shows two instances of same-day retests in 2023 and 2024, the absence of recorded defects on both the initial failures and subsequent passes suggests minor, easily rectified issues rather than deep-seated mechanical neglect. This pattern implies an owner willing to address immediate compliance concerns promptly. The mileage accumulation reveals a distinct shift in usage patterns over the vehicle's lifespan. Between the October 2023 test at 81,979 miles and the September 2024 test at 85,148 miles, the ASX covered just 3,169 miles, reflecting very light, localized use. However, the subsequent thirteen months saw a dramatic spike, adding 22,740 miles to reach the current 107,888 miles. This rapid accumulation suggests a transition to regular long-distance commuting or motorway driving, which typically reduces wear on stop-start components but increases stress on drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems at sustained speeds. Given the recent high-mileage surge, a buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection focusing on high-speed wear items. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or lipping, as sustained high-speed braking generates significant heat. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, alongside the condition of the tyres to ensure they possess adequate tread depth and show no signs of abnormal wear from prolonged motorway driving. Although the MOT record remains entirely free of advisories, the sheer volume of miles covered in the last year necessitates verifying the structural integrity of the underbody and exhaust system for any corrosion or fatigue that a standard MOT might not immediately flag.
