2017 Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L Diesel · AY67 YPR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the mechanical history reveals a trend of worsening suspension and drivetrain wear. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 86,248 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a significant failure just six days prior at 86,123 miles. This failure highlighted multiple critical issues, including an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint and wheel bearing play, indicating that the front-end components are now reaching the end of their functional life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. The vehicle covered 12,859 miles between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 12,708 miles between early 2025 and early 2026. This steady usage suggests the truck is used regularly for typical duties, though the accumulation of advisories over the last three years shows that standard wear and tear on rubber bushes and mechanical joints is expected at this distance. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and wheel assemblies. The tester repeatedly flagged the offside front wheel bearing for play, which progressed from slight to excessive wear in the January 2026 failure. Additionally, the anti-roll bar pins and bushes on both front corners, along with the rear leaf spring shackle bushes, show wear. These components will likely require replacement soon to prevent handling instability or uneven tyre wear. The nearside inner drive shaft bearing also shows slight play, which should be monitored for vibration or noise during a test drive. The record also notes recurring issues with a cut rear tyre and a deteriorated registration plate, suggesting minor neglect of cosmetic and consumable details. While the structural integrity remains unmentioned in these reports, the increasing nature of suspension-related faults indicates the vehicle is entering a phase where more frequent mechanical intervention is necessary to maintain its condition.
