Our Verdict
This 2014 Isuzu D-MAX is a reasonable buy for a used diesel pickup, but the October 2024 MOT failure shows past neglect of basic items. Budget for fresh front tyres and a full check of the engine warning system before committing.
Ask the seller for evidence that the October 2024 failures were properly fixed — the tyres, the near-side front position lamp and the engine malfunction indicator lamp should all have been rectified, and a receipt for four tyres would be reassuring. Given the 2014 registration and 60,700-60,835 mile readings across the two 2025 tests, confirm the vehicle was not laid up unused for long periods, as diesel particulate systems dislike short idle spells. Service history is essential on a D-MAX of this age; look for proof of cambelt and diesel filter intervals being met.
As a 2499cc diesel pickup first registered in March 2014, this D-MAX will fall into a higher VED band than a small car and insurance group ratings for pickups are typically modest but body-on-frame repairs can be pricey. Real-world fuel economy on a 2.5 D-MAX is around 30-35 mpg, so at 8,000 miles a year fuel will be the largest cost. Routine maintenance such as tyres and brakes is straightforward but parts for the D-MAX are not as cheap as a mainstream hatchback.
The October 2024 MOT failure listed near-side and off-side front tyres worn close to the legal limit and on the edge, so inspect all four tyres for even wear and proof of recent replacement. The same test recorded an inoperative engine MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) and a non-working near-side front position lamp; verify the dashboard warning lights illuminate and extinguish correctly and that both front position lamps work. With 59,125 to 60,835 miles covered between October 2024 and August 2025, also check for any underlying engine fault that may have triggered the warning lamp originally.
The black 2.5-litre diesel D-MAX (reg J100ADD) shows 60,835 miles on its most recent August 2025 MOT, which is modest for a 12-year-old workhorse. Its history includes a failed test in October 2024 for worn front tyres, a non-working engine warning lamp and a failed near-side front position lamp, though it passed a retest the same day. More recent tests in June and August 2025 recorded no defects, suggesting the issues were addressed.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Isuzu D-MAX, so this assessment relies solely on the individual vehicle's test history.
