2014 Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L Petrol · YP14 USN

A persistent pattern of brake disc wear and recent tyre degradation defines the mechanical record of this vehicle, although it has maintained a consistent pass rate, most recently on 31 March 2026. Front brake discs have been flagged as worn, pitted, or scored across four consecutive annual tests dating back to 2023, suggesting a long-term trend of gradual deterioration. While the vehicle has avoided failures, the recurring nature of these advisories indicates that several wear-and-tear components are approaching the end of their functional life. The recorded mileage of 108,191 miles is typical for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,016 miles per year. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which generally prevents the seizure of components often seen in low-mileage examples but increases the likelihood of wear on drivetrain consumables and suspension bushings. At this mileage, the focus shifts toward the longevity of high-wear items and the structural integrity of components exposed to road salt and moisture. Immediate attention should be given to the braking system and tyre condition. Given the multi-year advisories for pitted and scored front and rear discs, a test drive should focus on detecting any pedal judder or abnormal grinding noises during deceleration. The most recent test specifically highlighted perishing and cuts to both rear tyres, which requires a close physical inspection of the sidewalls for cracks or bulges that could compromise safety. Further scrutiny is required for the steering and suspension systems based on historical flags. The 2022 report noted slight free play in the steering rack and corrosion on both rear lower coil springs; the buyer should listen for knocks or clunks when driving over uneven surfaces and check for a vague or imprecise feeling in the steering wheel. Additionally, the reported fraying of the offside front seat belt webbing should be physically verified to ensure the restraint remains secure.
