2016 Mitsubishi ASX 2.3L Diesel · WT16 NFX

The 2016 Mitsubishi ASX is currently roadworthy, with a stable maintenance history showing consistent MOT passes over the past five years. The most recent test on 2025-07-01 confirmed this status at 23,982 miles, though it flagged thin front brake pads and a nail in the nearside rear tyre. These are minor, repairable issues that do not indicate systemic problems, and the absence of defects in prior tests suggests the vehicle has been well cared for overall. The mileage progression reveals a very low annual average of approximately 2,398 miles per year, which is notably below the typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 MOTs shows only 900 miles added in a year, and the 2022 to 2023 interval saw just 1,700 miles. This slow accumulation suggests the car has likely been driven infrequently or stored for periods, which can lead to issues with tyres, brake calipers, and suspension components due to lack of use rather than high wear. Despite the low mileage, the thin front brake pads in the latest test warrant attention, as they may indicate uneven wear or a potential issue with the brake calipers. Buyers should inspect the brake system thoroughly, including the condition of the rear brakes and calipers, which were not flagged but may not have been fully assessed. Suspension components should also be checked for binding or wear, especially given the long intervals between MOTs. The nail in the tyre is a temporary fix, and the tyre should be inspected for internal damage or replaced if the repair is not permanent. Overall, the vehicle appears mechanically sound, but a pre-purchase inspection is recommended to verify the condition of the brakes, suspension, and tyres.
