2019 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · WV69 FZR

The Mitsubishi ASX presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 40,414 miles during the September 2025 test. The only recorded failure occurred on the same day as that pass, triggered solely by ineffective front wiper blades, a minor consumable defect that was clearly rectified immediately. Prior to that, the vehicle passed its August 2024 test at 32,064 miles with advisories for both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and minor cuts on both front tyres, none of which were flagged again in 2025, suggesting the owner replaced the tyres promptly. The 2023 and 2022 tests were clean apart from a single advisory for a nail in the offside rear tyre in September 2022 at 17,332 miles. No structural, suspension, braking, or emissions defects appear anywhere in the record, which is a strong indicator of sound mechanical upkeep. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2019 vehicle, averaging roughly 5,773 miles per year. The jump from 32,064 miles in August 2024 to 40,414 miles by September 2025 represents an 8,350-mile increase over thirteen months, a modest uptick that still keeps annual usage well below the UK average. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings, and the progression from 17,332 miles in 2022 through to 40,414 miles in 2025 follows a consistent, gradual accumulation pattern. The vehicle does not appear to have stood idle for extended periods, and the low overall mileage means wear on drivetrain and suspension components should be minimal. A buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas the MOT cannot fully assess. The repeated presence of child seats blocking adult seatbelt inspections across multiple tests means the condition of the seatbelt mechanisms, retractors, and anchor points remains unverified by the tester and should be manually checked. The 2024 advisories for front tyre wear and cuts, though resolved, suggest the vehicle may have been driven on poorly maintained roads or kerbed regularly, so suspension bushes, tracking, and wheel alignment deserve close scrutiny. Given the low mileage, inspect for corrosion on the underside, particularly around brake lines, subframes, and exhaust mounting points, as short-trip use can accelerate moisture-related rust even on lightly used cars. The brake system, while never flagged, should be road-tested for binding or uneven wear, and the exhaust system should be checked for any developing corrosion that may not yet have reached an emissions failure threshold.
