2021 Isuzu D-MAX Utility 1.9L Diesel · EK71 ABZ

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 14 October 2025 at 66,162 miles. This pass showed no recorded defects, indicating that the significant mechanical and electrical issues identified in the previous year were successfully rectified. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the vehicle moved from a comprehensive failure in late 2024 to a perfect pass in the most recent inspection. At 66,162 miles over five years, this Isuzu D-Max covers an average of approximately 13,200 miles per annum. This represents high usage for a modern utility vehicle, suggesting consistent operation rather than long periods. The record shows an accumulation of 17,258 miles between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. This rate of travel typically puts higher strain on suspension bushings, brake components, and drivetrain assemblies compared to lower-mileage city vehicles. A buyer must verify the quality of the braking system repairs following the failure on 15 October 2024. The tester previously flagged excessively fluctuating front service brakes, which often indicates warped brake discs or sticking calipers. While the 2025 test passed without defects, a physical inspection should check for any pedal pulsation under heavy braking to ensure the replacement parts were durable. Additionally, the previous failure for mismatched tyre sizes on the rear axle requires a check to ensure a matching pair of quality tyres is now fitted correctly to prevent differential wear. The inoperative engine management indicator light (MIL) noted in 2024 suggests a past sensor or wiring fault. A prospective buyer should perform a diagnostic scan to ensure no lingering fault codes remain in the system. Given the high mileage and the nature of utility vehicles, a close inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion is also warranted, as these areas are prone to accelerated wear when used for heavy tasks.
