2016 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · AF16 ABK

The roadworthiness status of this Isuzu D-Max is currently stable, with the vehicle holding a valid MOT certificate issued on 07 August 2025. While the record shows a failed test just two days prior to the eventual pass, the absence of recorded defects suggests this was likely an administrative error or a minor equipment failure at the testing station rather than a mechanical issue. The vehicle has maintained a clean record across the last four years, indicating consistent adherence to annual maintenance requirements. This vehicle has accumulated 206,318 miles over a ten-year lifespan, averaging approximately 20,600 miles per annum. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent, with the owner adding roughly 23,000 miles between July 2024 and August 2025. Such high-frequency usage often points to motorway or heavy-duty commercial operation rather than short, stop-start journeys. The lack of recurring advisories throughout this high-mileage period suggests that the drivetrain and chassis have been subjected to a rigorous service schedule, which is essential for a vehicle of this type. Prospective buyers must look beyond the clean MOT history and conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and drivetrain components. Given the high mileage, the suspension bushes, leaf springs, and steering linkages will likely show signs of fatigue or play that do not always trigger an MOT failure. Inspect the underside for signs of heavy corrosion, particularly around the rear chassis rails and fuel tank mountings, as these are common failure points for the D-Max. Verify the condition of the turbocharger and clutch assembly, as these high-wear components are approaching the end of their typical service life at this mileage.
