Mitsubishi ASX buying guide (Ireland, 2026)
What a used Mitsubishi ASX costs in Ireland, how it does at the NCT, what goes wrong and what it costs to fix. Based on 40 for sale right now.
Our take on the Mitsubishi ASX
A 2018 Mitsubishi ASX typically advertises at €13,950 and a 2013 one at €5,950, so it loses roughly 16% of its value a year at that age, faster than most cars. The 1.6 petrol is the most common engine (54% of those with a known engine), and it usually lasts around 300k km.

Common Mitsubishi ASX problems
Known weak spots to check before you buy, with typical Irish garage costs if the problem is there.
Automatic gearbox health · €300–€2,500
Make sure the gear changes are smooth when warm, check for a gearbox warning light and ask if the gearbox oil was ever changed.
Timing belt history · €350–€700
Ask when the timing belt and water pump were last done (usually every 160,000 km or 5–6 years). No proof = budget for it.
Engines and how long they last
| Engine | Usually lasts | Motor tax / year | For sale |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.6 Petrol | ~300k km | ~€400 | 7 |
| 1.6 Diesel | ~320k km | ~€200 | 6 |
"Usually lasts" is the mileage these engines commonly reach before major work; service history matters more than the number.
