Mitsubishi ASX Used Car Inspection Checklist Malaysia
When buying a used Mitsubishi ASX in Malaysia, prioritise checking the CVT fluid condition and service history — neglected CVT fluid is the most expensive issue to encounter post-purchase. Check for any CVT shudder during a test drive by accelerating smoothly from low speed. Inspect the timing chain area for oil leaks, check all four tyres for uneven wear (indicating alignment or suspension issues), and scan the ECU for stored fault codes. Request full service records and verify the mileage against the service stamps.

Used ASX Inspection Guide
- CVT shudder test: 30–60 km/h light throttle
- CVT fluid colour: clean red — dark or burnt is a red flag
- Check for accident history: panel gaps and paint thickness
- All service records: especially CVT fluid change history
