Is the 2014 Asx getting worse?

Pass rate of 2014-registered cars across recent test years:

Test year	Pass rate
2023	78.9% +1.5 vs same-age
2024	74.4% -1.2 vs same-age
2025	72.2% -2.2 vs same-age

The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

FAQs

Is a 2014 Mitsubishi Asx reliable?

2014-registered examples passed 75.2% of their MOT tests (11,031 tests, 2023–2025), -0.6 points versus all UK cars registered in the same year. At roughly 12 years old with a median 78,452 miles, condition now varies car by car — always check the individual MOT history.

What mileage is too high for a 2014 Asx?

The median tested example shows 78,452 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
