2015 Mitsubishi ASX 2.3L Diesel · YP64 URE

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-23 recorded a pass but noted front and rear brake pads wearing thin, along with slight play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint. These issues suggest ongoing wear on critical safety components, particularly brakes and suspension. The brake pad condition is concerning, as thin pads increase stopping distances and risk damage to rotors. The suspension play indicates potential instability, which could worsen over time. A recurring pattern of brake pad wear is evident. The 2024-10-23 failed MOT cited thin rear brake pads, and the 2024-10-24 pass mentioned the same issue. While the 2025 MOT did not explicitly retest brakes, the continued thinning implies either insufficient maintenance or underlying mechanical stress. Suspension issues also persist: a 2024 failure highlighted excessive wear in the nearside front suspension arm, later noted as slight play in 2025. This suggests the problem may not have been fully resolved, raising concerns about structural integrity. The vehicle’s mileage of 63,918 miles over 11 years equates to roughly 5,811 miles annually—a low figure for its age.
