2016 ISUZU D-MAX2.5L Diesel

The Isuzu D-Max passed its most recent MOT on 15 September 2025 at 137,760 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults flagged. The only blemish is an anomalous fail on 10 September 2025 at 137,746 miles where the tester logged no defects, followed five days later by a clean pass at near-identical mileage. This pattern suggests an administrative or presentation error at the test centre rather than a genuine roadworthiness concern. Mileage stands at 137,760 against a 2016 build, equating to roughly 13,776 miles per year and marking the vehicle as high-use for its class. The record shows 117,121 miles on 16 December 2022, rising to 131,874 by 19 December 2023, then 137,760 by September 2025. Accumulation slowed markedly in the final period, with under 6,000 miles added across twenty-one months. A ten-year utility vehicle covering this distance typically sees heavy drivetrain and suspension loading, yet the sparse test entries between 2022 and 2025 leave consumable wear between those dates unobserved. Given the clean test outcomes, no specific structural or mechanical fault directs the buyer's attention. The 2022 and 2025 fail entries with zero recorded defects warrant a check of the DVSA failure reason codes, as a blank defect field on a fail is irregular. In person, the buyer should still scrutinise chassis corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs and calipers, and exhaust emissions, since a D-Max of this mileage and age commonly develops unseen wear that a no-defect pass does not capture. The high annual mileage implies previous owners used the truck for demanding work, and the lack of advisories across four passes indicates either diligent upkeep or superficial test scrutiny. Verify service history independently and commission a pre-purchase inspection of the drivetrain and underbody before commitment.
