2010 Mitsubishi ASX 1.8L Diesel · WV60 KKF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but exhibits a clear trend of deteriorating suspension-related wear. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 133,429 miles, the record reveals a persistent accumulation of advisories that persist across multiple years. The transition from a major exhaust leak in 2024 to a pass in 2025 suggests that while immediate failures are being addressed, the underlying mechanical condition of the chassis components is reaching a state of progressive decline. At 133,429 miles over 16 years, the ASX averages approximately 8,339 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for its age. The mileage data shows consistent annual testing, with a jump from 107,076 miles in 2023 to 120,098 miles in 2024. This steady interval suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than left for long periods, though the age of the vehicle is clearly evident in the degradation of rubber components and metalwork rather than high mileage. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the rear sub-frame, as the 2025 test flagged corrosion that, while not yet seriously weakened, represents a structural risk that will accelerate over time. The history shows recurring issues with anti-roll bar linkages and trailing arm bushes dating back to 2023. These components have been flagged for play or wear in three consecutive years, indicating that the suspension is nearing the end of its functional life. The deteriorated dust covers on the front ball joints also suggest a high risk of grease loss, which will lead to joint failure if not replaced immediately.
