2020 Mitsubishi ASX Exceed 2.0L Petrol · Y5 ARN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed the test in January 2026 at 27,274 miles, the tester flagged four separate advisories regarding tyres and suspension components. This represents a significant decline compared to the clean records seen in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that components are now reaching wear limits after a period of low use. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between January 2025 and January 2026, the car covered 4,124 miles, indicating consistent but low-intensity usage. However, the low mileage often correlates with degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the cracking and perishing of the rear tyres recorded in the most recent inspection. This pattern suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, leading to dry rot despite the low mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside front suspension, as the corroded coil spring noted in the 2026 test is a structural risk that will eventually lead to failure. The record also indicates all four tyres require imminent replacement, with the front pair nearing the legal limit and the rear showing age damage. Furthermore, the history of thin front brake pads in 2023 necessitates a check of the current remaining life and disc condition to ensure they have not been scored due to the delayed service.
