2015 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · SV15 AAX

The D-Max's last recorded MOT, taken on 26 January 2022 at 24,615 miles, ended in a pass with no defects. That result followed a test failure on 8 December 2021, which also carried no specific defect entries in the record, so whatever caused the failure was evidently put right before the retest. The maintenance pattern is stable but far from current: no further test appears in the history, meaning the vehicle has not presented for a statutory inspection in over four and a half years and its present roadworthiness is unverified. At 24,615 miles, this eleven-year-old pick-up has averaged around 2,238 miles per year—genuinely low for its age. The mileage is identical across both 2021 and 2022 entries, which is consistent with a quick retest rather than heavy use. The issue is the long silence since January 2022. A vehicle covering so few miles may have been laid up for extended periods, and that creates its own wear patterns: corrosion forms on brake discs, suspension bushes and tyres perish from static loading, and seals dry out. With no failures or advisories logged on either test, there is no historical fault trend to warn you of a developing problem. That clean bill of health does not extend to the present condition. A buyer must inspect in person the components most affected by sitting and light use: binding brake calipers, corroded discs, perished suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links, and tyres showing age cracks despite adequate tread depth. On a D-Max, pay particular attention to the chassis rails, sills, and load bed mounts for structural corrosion, as surface rust can spread unnoticed when the truck spends long periods unused. A full service, fresh battery, and new brake fluid are likely needed before any regular use resumes.
