2015 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Diesel · YA65 NBG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT result indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance. While the car passed its test in March 2026 at 90,431 miles, the tester flagged defects involving a severely deteriorated offside rear anti-roll bar linkage and a damaged nearside front track rod end. These issues, following two consecutive clean records in 2023 and 2024, suggest that suspension components are now beginning to reach the end of their functional life simultaneously. The recorded mileage of 90,431 miles over eleven years reflects an average annual usage of approximately 8,221 miles, which aligns with typical domestic requirements for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles covered between annual tests. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary storage, which often leads to premature degradation of rubber seals and components despite low total mileage. A buyer should prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The history shows a recurring trend of thin brake pads noted in 2022 and 2025, indicating that the owner may only replace consumables when they reach failure limits. The recent failures of ball joint covers on the anti-roll bar and track rod end signify that other steering and suspension bushings likely require a comprehensive check to prevent further mechanical play. Additionally, the nearside front wheel arch cover must be secured to prevent road debris from causing damage to the bodywork.
