2017 ISUZU D-MAX2.5L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-28 at 101,265 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this followed a failed test on 2025-10-27 at the same mileage, which also showed no defects. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or a minor issue resolved between tests. No structural, suspension, or braking defects were noted in the history, indicating the vehicle has maintained basic roadworthiness. However, the repeated failures without recorded faults raise questions about the accuracy of the testing process or unrecorded underlying issues. The mileage of 101,265 miles over nine years equates to an average of 11,252 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for this age. The MOT records show a gap of 12 months between the 2023-11-15 and 2024-11-06 tests, followed by another 11 months until the 2025-10-28 test. This pattern suggests regular but not frequent inspections, which may reflect the owner’s maintenance habits. No significant spikes in mileage are evident, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into component wear. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, as these are common failure points in older 4x4s. The absence of brake-related defects in the records is reassuring, but visual checks for corrosion on brake discs and caliper binding are recommended. The exhaust system and body corrosion should also be examined, as these can degrade over time without immediate MOT failures. The vehicle’s maintenance history lacks specific mechanical red flags, but the ambiguous test outcomes warrant a pre-purchase inspection to confirm its condition.
