Sell your ASX. Get paid before it leaves.

Two different cars have worn the ASX badge since 2021, and the first thing any buyer needs to know is which one yours is. After that, the offer comes down to grade, engine, kilometres, condition and a service record that shows where the car was looked after.

Which ASX do you have?

Cars sold new from 2021 to early 2025 are the last of the original ASX. CarExpert describes that design as facelifted in 2019, and every 2021 car has an 8-inch touchscreen. From late 2025, the ASX is a rebadged Renault Captur. CarExpert reported first customer deliveries were due to begin in November 2025.

The overlap that catches people out is the grade names. LS and Exceed appear in both line-ups, so a “2023 ASX Exceed” and a “2026 ASX Exceed” are completely different cars. When you send your ASX through, give us the year, grade and engine. Your rego papers or purchase contract will usually show all three.

How the ASX changed from 2021 to 2025

The original ASX changed in small steps rather than big ones, but those steps affect what equipment your car has. These are the changes CarExpert reported:

The limited editions are worth a closer look if you own one. CarExpert reported they miss out on blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, which the regular LS has. The XLS Plus, on the other hand, came with a panoramic roof, Rockford Fosgate audio, navigation and leather. Equipment is what a valuer prices, so the exact badge matters more than the family it belongs to.

The ES Street is an accessory pack on the ES rather than a separate grade. CarExpert lists black exterior trim, skid plates and decals among its parts. If yours has it, mention it on the call.

What a buyer checks on an ASX

Whether you sell privately or to a dealer, these are the questions that come up. Have the answers ready and the inspection holds fewer surprises.

• Year, grade and engine, matched to the VIN and the paperwork
• That it is clearly the original ASX or the new one, not left for the buyer to work out
• The service book or digital record, with invoices for each visit
• Which services were done at a Mitsubishi dealer, and which elsewhere
• The warranty: when it started and how much cover is left
• A VIN search on the government recall site, plus job cards for any recall work
• Both keys
• Tyres and alloys, including kerb marks
• Any warning lights on the dash, and how the car drives
• A payout letter from your lender if there is finance owing

None of this needs to be perfect before you call us. It just needs to be honest, so the offer we make on the phone is based on the car you actually have.

Service history and the warranty

On most cars, service history is about buyer confidence. On an ASX it is also about the warranty. CarExpert’s reviews describe Mitsubishi’s cover as up to 10 years or 200,000 km when the car is serviced within Mitsubishi’s dealer network. If it is serviced elsewhere, CarExpert says the warranty drops to five years or 100,000 km. Scheduled servicing is every 12 months or 15,000 km, whichever comes first.

That makes timing worth checking on the earliest cars in our range. A 2021 ASX serviced outside the network reaches the five-year mark during 2026, so on CarExpert’s description its cover may already have ended or be about to. A 2021 car with every service at a Mitsubishi dealer could still have years left.

Mitsubishi’s own terms decide what your car has. Before you quote a warranty to anyone, ask a Mitsubishi dealer to confirm the start date, the cover left and whether it passes to the next owner. Our guide to selling a used ASX works through an example of two otherwise identical cars.

Recalls and warning lights to sort first

Buyers and dealers run a VIN search on vehiclerecalls.gov.au as a matter of course, so do it before you list or call. Recalls follow the build date and fitted parts, not the badge, so check your own VIN rather than relying on what applies to another ASX.

If a recall is open, the work is done free by the manufacturer, usually through a Mitsubishi dealer. Book early, because some fixes need parts ordered. If it cannot be done before you sell, you can still sell: tell us on the valuation call so the offer is made with the full picture. Our guide to checking open recalls before you sell covers how to prove the work was done.

A warning light is different. It can point to anything from a sensor to a bigger fault, so mention it on the call rather than letting it turn up at inspection.

When to sell your ASX

The end of the original ASX does not stop you selling one, and there is no published data showing a “last of the line” premium for it. Anyone promising one is guessing. CarExpert reported the cheapest new ASX costs considerably more than the outgoing entry model did, which changes what a budget buyer compares, but we have not seen published data showing how far that has moved used prices.

What you can control is kilometres and warranty. Each year adds kilometres, and on a car serviced outside the network the five-year warranty mark arrives whatever you do. If you are already thinking about selling, it is worth getting an offer before either one passes.

Selling an ASX with finance owing

You can sell an ASX with money still owing. We deal with your lender directly to pay out the loan, then pay you any equity left over. It usually takes 2 to 3 business days to settle. If you owe more than the offer, the difference has to be covered before settlement. Ask your lender for a payout letter before the call so you know where you stand.

On paperwork, we prepare the sale paperwork and help with the transfer of ownership. We make sure your notice of disposal is done correctly; in most states it is a quick online form. Usually no roadworthy or safety certificate is needed when you sell to us, but rules differ by state, so we confirm what applies to your car on the call.

Selling your ASX to us

Selling to us means a genuine offer by phone from a licensed dealer run by a valuer who has priced cars since 1992. When you accept, we pay a deposit, often the same day, and inspect the ASX at a time and place that suits you. The balance goes into your bank account, and we collect the car only after you confirm the funds have cleared, anywhere in Australia. No fees come out of the offer. See how it works for each step.
