The Mitsubishi ASX is a highly reliable vehicle in the traditional sense. It is not prone to major mechanical failures, and its straightforward design makes it a dependable choice for those who prioritise hassle-free ownership. This reliability comes from Mitsubishi’s conservative, well-tested approach to engineering, favouring proven components over unnecessary complexity.
In the interests of full transparency, this ASX is recorded as a non-structural Category N insurance loss. The car struck a pothole which caused damage to the front passenger side. We have replaced all damaged components with new parts and carried out a full four-wheel alignment. The car has been MOT’d subsequent to the repair and passed with no advisories. We also hold over 20 photographs showing the vehicle in its pre-repair state, clearly demonstrating how minor the damage was – it remains something of a mystery why the insurer chose not to authorise repairs, but it represents excellent fortune for its next owner. As a non-structural Category N vehicle, the chassis and safety structure were not affected; Cat N status does not appear on the V5C, and insurers typically do not apply special terms or increased premiums on this basis alone (always check with your own insurer).
Offering seating for five and easy access through its five doors, the ASX blends everyday usability with modern touches. Inside, you’ll find convenient 12V sockets in the front and centre, ideal for charging devices on the go, while Bluetooth connectivity allows for hands-free calls and seamless music streaming. A shark fin aerial and DAB digital radio deliver clear, high-quality audio, and the multi-information colour LCD display keeps key driving data right in your line of sight.
Combining reliability, comfort, space and contemporary technology, this ASX is a solid choice for anyone looking for a versatile SUV that’s equally at home navigating tight urban streets as it is cruising along country roads.
