2021 Isuzu D-MAX V-Cross Auto 1.9L Diesel · KY71 CHH

The Isuzu D-Max demonstrates a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent pass on 16 September 2025 at 48,805 miles with zero recorded defects. The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, though the ten-month gap since the last inspection means the next test is due by 15 September 2026. The absence of any advisories across the last two years of testing suggests a high standard of maintenance and a lack of significant wear on critical safety components. The recorded mileage of 48,805 miles over five years equates to an average annual usage of approximately 9,760 miles, which aligns with typical expectations for a vehicle of this class. A notable observation is the failed test on 18 September 2024 at 34,001 miles followed by an immediate pass the very next day. Given that no defects were listed on the failure record, this likely indicates a minor administrative error or a transient issue that was rectified instantly, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The steady accumulation of miles indicates the vehicle has remained in regular service rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which is generally beneficial for drivetrain longevity. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the undercarriage and chassis, as D-Max models are frequently utilised in demanding environments that can accelerate surface corrosion. While the MOT history is clean, check the condition of the suspension bushes and the leaf spring mounts for any signs of heavy-duty fatigue or off-road impact damage. Confirm that the automatic transmission shifts smoothly through all gears and verify that the four-wheel-drive system engages without hesitation. Despite the clean bill of health from the DVSA testers, a thorough check of the brake discs and pads remains prudent, as these components often reach the end of their service life between 40,000 and 50,000 miles.
