Buying Tips for 2025 Isuzu D-Max (Mk3)

  • ✓Check the advanced safety systems (ADAS), particularly the lane-keep assist camera, to ensure it isn't obscured by dirt or damaged.
  • ✓Test the new 9-inch infotainment screen for responsiveness and ensure Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connect cleanly.
  • ✓Inspect the load bed for severe damage; despite its premium feel, many are still used as heavy-duty workhorses.
  • ✓Verify the operation of the shift-on-the-fly 4WD system, ensuring it engages 4H and 4L smoothly without clunking.
  • ✓Listen for any unusual rattling from the 1.9-litre diesel engine when cold; while robust, it can be slightly vocal.
  • ✓Check the rear leaf springs for any signs of sagging, which indicates the vehicle has regularly been overloaded.
