2018 Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L Diesel · NU68 AJY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 31 July 2025 at 161,600 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as the vehicle consistently fails immediately prior to a pass in consecutive years. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the test just one or two days before passing, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed mechanical defects when prompted by the annual testing requirement rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile indicates high usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 20,200 miles per year. A significant period of activity occurred between November 2023 and July 2024, where the vehicle covered 8,163 miles in just eight months. This rate of accumulation suggests the truck is likely used for long-distance commuting or heavy commercial work, which accelerates the wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. The jump of 19,000 miles between the July 2024 tests confirms this consistent high-intensity operational pattern. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and chassis components, as the high mileage places immense stress on coil springs, shock absorbers, and ball joints. Given the reactive nature of the MOT history, check for signs of weeping hydraulic dampers or thinning brake discs that may not have triggered a formal failure yet. Pay close attention to potential structural corrosion on the underside members, as high-mileage utility vehicles in varied environments often suffer from accelerated rust. Ensure the exhaust system shows no significant wear and that tyres are not excessively depleted despite the clean test results.
