2013 Isuzu D-MAX Eiger D/C Intercooler TD 2.5L Diesel · BK63 MYB

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding component degradation related to age. While it passed the most recent November 2024 test at 33,079 miles, the tester identified multiple advisories that were absent in the 2022 record. The appearance of slight play in the offside front steering rack inner joint and degradation across all four tyres indicates that components are beginning to reach their service limit despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2024, the vehicle covered only 8,086 miles. This pattern of infrequent use suggests long periods of standing, which often leads to the specific issues seen in rubber-based components. The 2024 advisory regarding cracking and perishing on both the front and rear tyres is a direct consequence of dry rot, where the rubber loses elasticity over time rather than through wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and steering geometry. The record shows recurring issues with pitted front brake discs in the 2023 and 2024 tests, suggesting the discs have sat long enough for corrosion to etch the surface without sufficient friction cleaning. The newly flagged play in the steering rack inner joint requires a professional check to ensure it does not progress into a safety-critical steering failure. Given the low usage, the buyer should also inspect for seized brake calipers and perished rubber seals, as these are common failures for vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods.
