Perth drivers after the elevated driving position, versatile body style and everyday practicality of a compact SUV without the running costs, parking challenges and fuel bills of a larger vehicle have always found a lot of practical sense in the Mitsubishi ASX. It’s a sensible, reliable and genuinely well-designed compact crossover that has made a name for itself as one of the most popular vehicles in its segment in Western Australia – and the 2012 model in particular marks the ASX at a confident, well-developed point in its first generation life. The problem is that when something eventually goes wrong and needs replacing, the local Mitsubishi dealer wants to charge you prices that seem totally out of whack with the car’s real market value. Whether it’s a grey tailboard that took a knock in a car park, a 4B11 MIVEC engine component that has worn out after years of reliable service, a CVT gearbox issue that has been developing or a 4WD system component causing warning lights there is a much smarter and more affordable way to get your ASX sorted without overpaying.

2012 Mitsubishi ASX – Doing a practical compact crossover the right way
The Mitsubishi ASX arrived on Australian shores in 2010 and quickly built a loyal following among Perth buyers looking for a compact, practical and fuel-efficient alternative to the growing number of large and expensive SUVs that were beginning to dominate the Australian market. The ASX really did tick a lot of boxes – higher seating position than a hatchback, a versatile and practical body, a wide range of powertrain options to suit different budgets and driving styles, and a level of everyday usability that made it genuinely useful for Perth families, young buyers and everyday commuters alike.
The 2012 model is in the mature middle of the first generation GA series production run – a time when the ASX had been properly refined and was delivering the consistent, reliable ownership experience that Mitsubishi ASX buyers deserved. By now the early teething troubles of production were over and the vehicle was running at its most reliable and sorted best.
The 2012 ASX’s exterior styling was clean, modern and confidently styled – the bold front fascia with its distinctive trapezoidal grille, the muscular shoulder line and the well-proportioned overall form gave it a road presence that sat comfortably above many of its direct rivals. In grey especially the ASX had a sophisticated, understated quality that looked smart and well-maintained on Perth roads long after the vehicle left the showroom floor.
The 2012 ASX provided a practical spread of engines to suit its diverse buyer base. For most ASX buyers, the 2.0-litre 4B11 MIVEC petrol engine was the obvious choice. This smooth, willing and reasonably fuel-efficient four-cylinder unit delivered confident everyday performance in Perth’s mix of suburban driving and occasional motorway runs. But the 4B11’s character and responsiveness, thanks to Mitsubishi’s MIVEC variable valve timing tech, made it a more engaging drive than the numbers on paper suggested. Long-term reliability has been consistently strong among the thousands of ASX owners who’ve done serious kilometres with this engine. Those who put maximum fuel economy and strong low-end torque at the top of their list, there was the 1.8-litre 4N13 diesel. This engine delivered genuinely impressive real-world fuel consumption figures, making it particularly cost-effective for high-mileage Perth drivers.
Transmission choices ranged from a five-speed manual for those who desired direct control, to a CVT automatic for those who preferred smooth, effortless city driving and six-speed automatic on select variants. The drivetrain options were front-wheel drive for those who drove mostly on the sealed roads of Perth, or a proper four-wheel drive system for those who needed occasional off-road or all-weather traction confidence. Trim levels ranged from the entry 2WD to the 2WD Aspire and 4WD to the well-appointed 4WD Aspire, with each step adding more comfort, technology and convenience features.
The Car We Are Currently Destroying
The particular vehicle we are processing at our Perth facility right now is a 2012 Mitsubishi ASX in Grey. Grey is a colour that has always suited the ASX’s clean, purposeful body lines very well. In 2012, Mitsubishi had a few grey options on the ASX, including the popular Ironbark Silver Metallic (A32), the deeper Titanium Grey Metallic (X08), the subtler Sterling Silver Metallic (A31) and the darker Dark Grey Metallic (D17). Each had a different shade and degree of metallicness to appeal to different tastes.
This vehicle has arrived at our Perth facility in good overall condition with a good variety of exterior body panels, engine components, 4WD system parts, interior trim and electronic modules left in genuinely usable shape. Here at WA Auto Parts we give every vehicle we wreck the same professional, methodical and thorough treatment from our experienced team. Parts are properly removed, individually inspected and honestly catalogued before going to sale. We are very honest about condition and we never oversell what we have. Call our team on (08) 9358 1392) and we’ll give you the straight, honest picture of exactly what is available right now.
Parts Available From Mitsubishi ASX 2012 Grey Wrecker
The Mitsubishi ASX GA series is a solid, practical compact crossover and this wreck gives Perth ASX owners and workshops access to a useful range of genuine OEM Mitsubishi parts. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what’s available at this time:
Body Panels & Exterior Parts
Front and rear bumper bars, bonnet, tailboard, all four doors, front guards, side cladding, roof rails and door handles all finished in the original factory grey paint. The tailboard is one of the most asked for body parts from any wreck of an ASX. It is a large and prominent part, costly to replace through Mitsubishi dealer channels and often damaged in rear-end incidents and car park collisions. A genuine and practical advantage for Perth ASX owners suffering rear-end damage is a factory grey colour-matched tailboard from our current wreck. As well as that roof rails and side cladding are popular items that ASX owners commonly replace. Having genuine factory items from a matching year vehicle on hand is always the preferred option for a clean, correct fit.
Glass and Lights
Front headlight assemblies, rear tail light clusters, front fog lights, side indicators and mirror assemblies with integrated turn signal. The large rear tailboard glass, front windscreen and door windows are available subject to condition at time of your enquiry. The rear tailboard glass on the ASX is surprisingly expensive to replace via a specialist glazier and sourcing it from our Perth wrecker is consistently one of the most popular and financially sensible glass purchases our ASX customers make. Call (08) 9358 1392) early to confirm glass availability as these items go quick from any popular Japanese compact SUV wreck.
4B11 MIVEC ENGINE & 4N13 DIESEL PARTS
From this wreck you can obtain engine block components, cylinder head, MIVEC variable valve timing system components, alternator, starter motor, fuel injectors, throttle body, power steering pump, cooling system components including radiator and thermostat housing and various ancillary engine items depending on the particular engine variant of this vehicle. For diesel variant owners, the components like turbocharger unit, diesel fuel system parts and associated diesel engine parts of 4N13 diesel engine are also available. The 4B11 MIVEC engine is a proven unit and sourcing quality replacement parts from WA Auto Parts when wear or damage occurs is always the most cost effective approach for Perth ASX owners and workshops.
CVT & Automatic Transmission Parts
This vehicle comes with CVT automatic gearbox parts, six-speed automatic gearbox parts and five-speed manual gearbox parts, depending on the specification. In particular, CVT components are always in demand from ASX wrecks – having quality used CVT parts available from a professionally wrecked 2012 ASX is a genuine financial advantage for Perth owners and workshops dealing with CVT related issues or failures. And when you call, make sure to confirm your exact gearbox code and variant with our team to ensure the right spec match.
Drivetrain Parts and 4WD System
Owners of four wheel drive variants can get parts for the 4WD system such as transfer case, rear differential assembly, driveshafts and other 4WD drivetrain parts from this wreck. Through official dealer channels, parts for the Mitsubishi 4WD system can be expensive. For Perth ASX owners and workshops dealing with 4WD system faults or warning lights, WA Auto Parts is a very practical and financially sensible option.
Dashboards and Seating and Interior Trim
This 2012 ASX is in reasonable overall condition inside and a useful source of interior components that are getting harder to find for a vehicle of this age. Parts include front and rear seats, dashboard assembly, centre console, door trim panels, carpets, headlining, steering wheel, instrument cluster and the infotainment head unit. If you’re an ASX owner looking to replace faded sun-trim or worn components, these genuine OEM Mitsubishi parts are the most authentic and best fitting option available in Perth.
Suspension, Steering & Brake Parts
This wreck has front and rear struts, control arms, sway bars, steering rack components, wheel hubs and bearings, brake callipers, rotors and brake lines. The ASX’s suspension setup is nicely sorted for its everyday compact SUV role, but struts and control arms do wear with age and kilometres. For any ASX owner or Perth workshop that has to deal with suspension wear or handling issues on the vehicle, sourcing quality replacement components from WA Auto Parts is always going to be the most financially sensible option.
Electrical Modules, ECU, 4WD Control System and Safety Sensors
This wreck has an Engine Control Unit, Body Control Module, ABS Module, Airbag Control Module, 4WD Control Module and Selector Switch, Climate Control Unit, Window Regulators and a variety of sensors throughout the car. As the vehicle ages and the availability of official parts decreases, electrical components for the GA series ASX can be hard and expensive to source through conventional channels – which makes our wrecker stock especially valuable for Perth owners and workshops dealing with fault codes or module failures. As these always move first, please call us on (08) 9358 1392 as soon as possible to secure electronic components.
Colour Match Information and Paint Code
And getting the grey spot on in a compact SUV such as the ASX matters, particularly on a car where large, dominant body panels such as the tailboard and doors make any colour tone mismatch immediately apparent. The 2012 Mitsubishi ASX Grey is available in one of four factory grey paint codes including Ironbark Silver Metallic (A32), Titanium Grey Metallic (X08), Sterling Silver Metallic (A31) and Dark Grey Metallic (D17) with each offering their own unique warmth, depth and metallic qualities.
Ironbark Silver has a warm medium tone metallic depth. Titanium Grey is darker and cooler. Sterling Silver is thinner and more versatile. Dark Grey Metallic is the most dramatic of the four, in a deep charcoal influenced grey territory. If you want to know the exact paint code on our vehicle and check if it matches your ASX, call our team on (08) 9358 1392), bring your car down for a direct comparison or send us a clear photo in natural daylight and we will advise you honestly before you commit to any purchase.

FAQ — Mitsubishi ASX 2012 Grey Wrecking | WA Auto Parts Perth
Q1. What parts are available from the 2012 Mitsubishi ASX Grey wreck at WA Auto Parts?
Good solid range from this one. The ASX was in reasonable overall shape so we’ve got a useful range of genuine Mitsubishi parts available. Parts include grey colour matched body panels, doors, bonnet, tailgate, front guards, bumpers, side cladding, roof rails, headlights, tail lights, front windscreen, rear tailgate glass, door glass, mirror assemblies, 2.0-litre 4B11 MIVEC engine parts including variable valve timing parts, 1.8-litre 4N13 diesel engine and turbocharger parts, CVT automatic gearbox parts, six-speed automatic gearbox parts, five-speed manual parts, 4WD transfer case, rear differential assembly, driveshafts, fro “Everything is checked out right before it is put up for sale.” Call us on (08) 9358 1392 and have your VIN handy, and we will confirm exactly what is available right now.
Q2. I need a tailboard to match my ASX in grey, will the one from your wreck match my car properly?
It’s really important to get the tailboard colour right on the ASX – it’s a large, very visible component and a colour mismatch will be obvious to anyone looking at the rear of the car. The 2012 Mitsubishi ASX Grey came in four factory paint codes – Ironbark Silver Metallic (A32), Titanium Grey Metallic (X08), Sterling Silver Metallic (A31) and Dark Grey Metallic (D17). In natural daylight these are quite distinguishable from one another, particularly between the lighter silver options and the deeper Titanium and Dark Grey options. Before you commit to buying the tailboard off our wreck, bring your ASX in for a direct side-by-side comparison, or send us a clear photo in natural daylight and we will confirm the exact paint code match first. A factory-matched tailboard takes away the expense of respraying and provides a result that looks spot on on your ASX. Give us a call and we will sort the colour confirmation out properly before anything gets sold (08) 9358 1392
Q3. My ASX has a CVT gearbox which is starting to slip – is it realistic to buy a second hand CVT part from a wrecker for a car like this?
For the majority of Perth ASX owners in this situation, yes – and CVT issues are one of the most common repair scenarios we help ASX owners navigate. The CVT automatic gearbox is an expensive item to repair or replace through official Mitsubishi channels and the cost can make the repair feel financially questionable on a vehicle of this age and current market value. A used quality CVT part from a professionally wrecked 2012 ASX, honestly assessed for condition before sale, is a very practical solution, giving you genuine OEM Mitsubishi quality at a price that makes the repair worthwhile instead of financially painful. The most important thing is to make sure your particular CVT model and gearbox code is correct, which our team does carefully before any commitment. CVT components also move very fast from any ASX wreck so earlier is always better for getting what you require Give us a call on (08) 9358 1392, and we’ll honestly walk you through condition and availability.
Q4. Will the parts from the 2012 Mitsubishi ASX GA fit the Mitsubishi RVR or Outlander of the same era?
Yes on a good selection of parts – and this is actually useful for owners of those cars too. The platform of the Mitsubishi ASX GA series is shared with the Mitsubishi RVR and Mitsubishi Outlander Sport of the same generation – the international market names under which the same basic vehicle was sold in Japan, North America and other markets. This platform sharing means a huge number of mechanical, suspension, electrical and drivetrain components transfer directly between the ASX and these related models. Depending on certain engine variants and shared component families within Mitsubishi’s compact car range of this period, some mechanical components may also be compatible with the Mitsubishi Outlander ZJ series. Some trim items and model-specific components will not cross between the different vehicles so checking with your VIN, engine code, drive train configuration and build date before buying is always the right approach. Body specific panels will not cross. Just give us a call on (08) 9358 1392 and we will confirm compatibility for you before you buy anything.
Q5. My 2012 Mitsubishi ASX is not repairable. Will WA Auto Parts buy it and tow it away for free?
Absolutely, and a 2012 Mitsubishi ASX in any condition is exactly the sort of vehicle we deal with every day across Perth. Whether your ASX has a blown 4B11 MIVEC engine, a failed CVT gearbox that’s finally given up the ghost, a seized 4WD system, substantial collision damage to the front or rear, serious rust around the sills or wheel arches which is common on older compact SUVs, very high kilometres that make further repairs impossible to justify financially, or has simply been sitting in the driveway or on the street unused for too long — we want it. You can come to us anywhere in Perth, we will give you a totally honest and fair cash offer on the spot, pay you right then and there and tow the car away completely free of charge. No surprise tow fees, no magic price that changes between our phone call and when our team pulls up to your door, and no paperwork headaches you have to take care of yourself. We do it all, front to back, no holds barred. We usually pick up within twenty-four hours of your first call to us.
