2016 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · WG16 ADO

The 2025‑11‑04 MOT at 57,384 miles passed with only advisory defects, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy but shows recurring wear on suspension components and the rear brake pipe, suggesting a stable maintenance trend rather than worsening or improving conditions. The mileage record shows a low annual average of roughly 5,700 miles, with the most recent increase of 6,738 miles between October 2024 and November 2025, while earlier periods such as the jump from 45,580 miles in October 2023 to 50,646 miles in October 2024 represent a 5,066‑mile rise over eleven months, indicating consistent use rather than long periods of standing. Recurring advisories on the near‑side and off‑side rear shock absorber casings (5.3.2 (b)) and the worn near‑side front anti‑roll bar bush (5.3.4 (a) (i)) point to persistent suspension and steering linkage wear that a buyer should verify by physically examining the bush condition, checking for play in the anti‑roll bar, and inspecting the shock absorber mounting points for corrosion or impact damage. The buyer should also confirm that the rear brake pipe has been replaced or treated, inspect the exhaust system for any signs of rust or re‑welding after the 2023 major leak, verify tyre tread depth and edge wear, and ensure brake pads are within legal limits, as these items have shown repeated non‑conformities despite the overall pass.
