Things to check

  • MOT expired 2022-12-07; current status is 'Not valid' — immediate retest required.
  • High mileage (126,730 miles) suggests heavy use, accelerating wear on components.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Jan 2020, Jan 2021) escalated to a DANGEROUS defect (Jan 2021).
  • Brake system advisories (Apr 2019) and failures (Jan 2021) indicate ongoing maintenance needs.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects recorded.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures and advisories.
  • Mitsubishi ASX has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating robust design.
