2011 Mitsubishi ASX MOT pass rate and common faults

MOT tests in 2025, published 22 Jun 2026. DVSA publishes a new year each summer.

1,917 Mitsubishi ASX cars first used in 2011 had an MOT in 2025, at about 14 years old, and 62.9% passed first time. That is above the 61.2% for all cars first used in 2011.

The year is when the car was first used, as on its V5C log book, not the model year.
