How many years is a Mitsubishi ASX likely to last?

Mitsubishi ASX models aged 10 are forecast to keep taking MOTs for at least 2.1 more years; the survival curve is observed only until age 14, so the true figure is likely higher.

If a Mitsubishi ASX fails, does it fail again?

24.2% of Mitsubishi ASX models that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 18.5% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 6,791). The failure most likely to come back is ‘lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment’: 30.3% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

What does a Mitsubishi ASX cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Mitsubishi ASX models tested at age 5, about 12 failed the MOT first time (rough estimate); at age 10, about 30. These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time; the steepest one-year step in this cross-section is between cars aged 9 and 10, 6.08 percentage points (2024).
