2018 Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L Diesel · AY67 YPL

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent test on January 9 2026 with 62,379 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the vehicle failed in January 2024 due to a major exhaust leak, the subsequent clean pass indicates that the owner is reactive to significant mechanical failures rather than letting them persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2025, the truck covered 15,180 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The interval of 7,555 miles between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests reinforces this annual schedule. This relatively low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy-duty drivetrain or suspension strain typical of high-age commercial work. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and tyre condition, as the 2025 test flagged thin offside rear brake linings and a cut offside rear tyre. Although these are consumable items, the presence of thin linings suggests the need to check the remaining pad life. The buyer should also verify that the nearside upper windscreen damage noted in 2025 has been repaired or has not progressed into cracks. Given the previous exhaust failure, a quick visual check of the manifold and piping for any signs of corrosion or corrosion would ensure the previous repair remains sound.
