Insight summary

Mitsubishi Asx is a scarce model in this snapshot, with 24,767 represented vehicles and 0.06% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 80.8% from 167,425 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 54. The current pool shows an average of 85,177 miles and an average age of 10.6 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 94,714 miles. Diesel leads the fuel split, followed by petrol, and the most frequent defect themes are parking brake, track rod ends and windscreen damage. The practical read is that the Mitsubishi Asx looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
