2017 Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L Diesel · BN66 ABO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in April 2026 at 103,957 miles resulted in an initial failure due to lighting issues and significant mechanical wear. While the vehicle passed immediately after rectifications, the presence of thin nearside front brake pads, a severely deteriorated CV boot, and a worn shock absorber bush suggests that wear-related components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure or significant advisory status. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year over its nine-year life. There is a notable usage spike between November 2022 (54,334 miles) and January 2024 (68,681 miles), where the vehicle covered over 14,000 miles in just 14 months. Conversely, the gap between January 2024 and January 2025 shows a period of relatively high-intensity use, which likely contributed to the accelerated wear seen on tyres and suspension components in the later records. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and drivetrain integrity during a physical viewing. The record shows recurring issues with anti-roll bar bushes and shock absorbers, indicating the front-end geometry may be prone to premature play. The severely deteriorated nearside front CV boot is a critical point; it must be checked for grease leakage and joint damage to prevent expensive drive shaft failure. Additionally, given the history of thin brake pads and uneven tyre wear, the current state of the braking system and wheel alignment should be verified to ensure they are not already nearing the end of their service life.
