2015 Mitsubishi ASX 2.3L Diesel · WV65 EXP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding structural and component corrosion. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 92,422 miles passed, the tester identified a minor exhaust leak and significant corrosion on both the rear subframe and integral body structure. Although the report notes that structural rigidity is not yet significantly reduced, the presence of rust in these critical areas suggests the vehicle is susceptible to environmental degradation that may accelerate over time. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with an 11,142-mile interval between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. A notable gap occurred in October 2022, where the vehicle failed the test at 60,471 miles due to excessive corrosion across all four brake pipes. The subsequent pass just four days later at identical mileage indicates the previous owner addressed these faults once they reached a point of failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to assess the extent of the corrosion noted on the subframe and body structure. The October 2024 advisory regarding wear in the rear diff support bushes suggests that suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their service life. Attention should also be paid to the exhaust system identified in the latest test to ensure the minor leak does not develop into a more costly structural failure. Given the history of brake pipe degradation, verifying the current condition of the hydraulic lines and their unions is essential to ensure no new corrosion has developed.
