2017 Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L Diesel · BF67 NNR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on the most recent MOT test performed on 30 September 2023 at 166,387 miles, which passed with no recorded defects. This indicates a stable period of maintenance relative to the previous years where multiple mechanical and wear issues were identified. However, the last test is now nearly three years old, meaning the current mechanical state of the vehicle is unverified by official testing records. The mileage data reflects a high-usage profile, averaging approximately 18,500 miles per year over its nine-year life. Between September 2020 at 83,003 miles and September 2022 at 149,505 miles, the vehicle covered over 66,000 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent heavy use or motorway commuting, which typically accelerates the wear rate of drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems compared to lower-mileage examples of the same age. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and steering geometry due to recurring faults in these areas. The 2022 test flagged a deteriorated offside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover and worn edges on both front tyres, which often indicate alignment issues or worn ball joints. Additionally, the 2021 advisory regarding a worn bush on the nearside rear shock absorber suggests that the rubber components in the suspension system are reaching the end of their service life under this high-mileage stress. Given the high mileage and the gap since the last recorded MOT, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion is essential, especially on a utility vehicle. The history of windscreen damage in both 2021 and 2022 also warrants checking for new cracks or stone chips that may have developed since then. The buyer should also verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers to ensure the high annual mileage has not resulted in significant thinning or uneven braking performance.
