2014 Mitsubishi ASX 2.3L Diesel · YS63 TKC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a clear pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 130,017 miles identified front brake discs that are worn and pitted. This follows a trend established in March 2023 at 89,067 miles where both front and rear pads were thin and front discs were scored. While the car consistently passes tests, the recurring flagging of braking components suggests the owner only addresses these parts once they reach the MOT failure threshold. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per year. The data shows steady usage with a jump of 15,000 miles between March 2023 and February 2024, and another 25,800 miles between February 2024 and March 2026. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary storage, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of rubber seals and components despite the high total mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the 2024 test noted play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint. Although this specific fault was not repeated, high-mileage bushings and links often suffer similar wear. Given the history of worn brake hardware in 2023 and 2026, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the front discs and check for signs of binding or sticking calipers to ensure no immediate expenditure is required shortly after purchase.
