Is the Mitsubishi Asx ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 29,671 MOT tests, around 65% of Mitsubishi Asxes still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 17% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 18%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 52% diesel, 48% petrol. Diesel Asxes are generally compliant from 2016, while diesel cars from 2013 or earlier are likely to be charged. Every petrol Asx in the data (2010 onwards) is likely to be compliant.

How ULEZ rules apply to the Asx
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Diesel (52% of Asxes tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2013 and earlier are likely to be charged.
- Petrol (48% of Asxes tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
Asxes from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (18% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Mitsubishi can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Mitsubishi Asx for London: what the MOT data shows
The Mitsubishi Asxes in this data were first registered between 2010 and 2020. 2015 was the most common year, with 4,577 tests (15% of the total), and half were registered in 2015 or later.
Asxes from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 82% of the time, at an average of 55,251 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 69% of the time with 95,940 miles on average, so a compliant car is usually the more reliable buy as well as the cheaper one to drive in London.
On a budget, the oldest diesel Asxes likely to comply are from 2016. 2,133 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 84% of the time and averaged 55,024 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Asx's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were brakes: "less than 1.5 mm thick" (2.9% of tests); visibility: "does not clear the windscreen effectively" (2.4%); lights and electrics: "not working" (2.4%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 15.3% of tests.
Overall, 79% of Asxes passed first time, noticeably above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 64,664 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
