Common Mitsubishi Asx Problems

Known issues to watch for when servicing your Mitsubishi Asx.

Regular Wear Items

Low Severity

Brake pads and discs wear over time and need periodic replacement. South African driving conditions, including hilly terrain and stop-start city traffic, can accelerate brake wear. Budget for brake replacement every 40,000-60,000 km.

Est. repair: R2,000 - R6,000

Battery Degradation

Low Severity

Car batteries in South Africa typically last 2-4 years due to extreme heat, which accelerates chemical degradation. Have your battery tested at each service and replace preventatively to avoid being stranded.

Est. repair: R1,200 - R3,000

Suspension Component Wear

Medium Severity

South African road conditions, including potholes, speed bumps, and gravel roads, cause faster wear on suspension bushings, shock absorbers, and ball joints. Listen for clunking noises and have the suspension inspected at each service.

Est. repair: R2,000 - R8,000

Air Conditioning Regas

Low Severity

The air conditioning system loses refrigerant over time and should be regassed every 2-3 years for optimal cooling. In SA's hot climate, a fully functional AC system is essential for comfortable driving.

Est. repair: R500 - R1,500

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Mitsubishi Asx service costs in South Africa.

How much does a Mitsubishi Asx service cost in South Africa?
A Mitsubishi Asx major service in South Africa costs between R2 598 and R2 798, with an average cost of approximately R2 698. Prices vary based on the specific variant, year model (2009-2013), and whether you choose an independent workshop or dealership. These prices are based on data from 3 Mitsubishi Asx variants available in South Africa.
What is included in a Mitsubishi Asx major service?
A Mitsubishi Asx major service typically includes engine oil and filter change, air filter replacement, fuel filter replacement (diesel models), spark plug replacement (petrol models), brake fluid check and top-up, coolant level check, cabin/pollen filter replacement, transmission fluid inspection, a comprehensive multi-point vehicle inspection, and diagnostic scan. Some variants may include additional items like timing belt inspection or DSG/automatic transmission fluid change.
What is included in a Mitsubishi Asx minor service?
A minor service for a Mitsubishi Asx typically includes engine oil and oil filter change, visual inspection of belts and hoses, fluid level checks and top-ups, tyre pressure check and rotation recommendation, and a basic safety inspection. Minor services are usually done at alternating intervals between major services.
How often should I service my Mitsubishi Asx?
Mitsubishi recommends servicing the Asx every 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. However, if you frequently drive in harsh South African conditions such as dusty roads, stop-start traffic, or extreme heat, you may benefit from shorter service intervals of around 10,000 km. Following the recommended service schedule helps maintain your warranty and protects resale value.
Is it cheaper to service a Mitsubishi Asx at an independent workshop?
Yes, independent workshops typically charge 30% to 50% less than Mitsubishi dealerships for a Asx service. On a service averaging R2 698, that translates to potential savings of R809 to R1 349. In South Africa, you are legally entitled to service your vehicle at any reputable workshop without voiding your warranty, provided they use approved parts and fluids as per the Consumer Protection Act.
What are the most expensive service items on a Mitsubishi Asx?
The most expensive service items on a Mitsubishi Asx typically include timing belt or chain replacement (R5,000 to R15,000), brake pad and disc replacement (R3,000 to R8,000), clutch replacement on manual models (R6,000 to R15,000), and automatic transmission or DSG fluid service (R2,000 to R5,000). These are not required at every service but should be budgeted for as the vehicle accumulates kilometres.
Does servicing my Mitsubishi Asx at an independent workshop void the warranty?
No. Under South Africa's Consumer Protection Act (CPA), you can service your Mitsubishi Asx at any qualified workshop without voiding the manufacturer warranty, as long as the correct parts and fluids are used and the work is properly documented. The dealer cannot refuse a warranty claim simply because you serviced at an independent workshop. Keep all service records and invoices as proof.
How often should I change the oil on my Mitsubishi Asx?
Oil changes for a Mitsubishi Asx should be done at every service interval, typically every 15,000 km or 12 months. Use the manufacturer-specified oil grade and quality synthetic oil to protect the engine. South African driving conditions, particularly frequent short trips, dusty roads, or heavy traffic, can degrade oil faster, so consider checking oil levels regularly between services.
Where can I find a replacement engine for my Mitsubishi Asx?
If your Mitsubishi Asx needs an engine replacement rather than a service, Engine Finder connects you with verified suppliers across South Africa. Visit our Mitsubishi engines page to get free quotes from multiple suppliers and compare prices for both new and used Mitsubishi Asx engines.
