2013 Isuzu D-MAX Yukon D/C Intercooler TD 2.5L Diesel · BV62 KWJ

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While the vehicle passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 164,041 miles, it failed just four miles prior with multiple critical safety and mechanical defects. The recurrence of the Engine Malfunction Indicator (MIL) and the ABS fault lamp suggests underlying electronic or sensor issues remain unresolved until failure. This pattern indicates the owner only addresses the minimum requirements necessary to pass an MOT rather than maintaining consistent mechanical health. At 164,041 miles over 13 years, this D-Max has averaged approximately 12,600 miles per annum, which is consistent with heavy commercial or agricultural utility use. The mileage data shows a significant jump of 28,000 miles between October 2023 and November 2024, followed by another 25,000 miles in the following year. Such rapid accumulation places immense strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The 2024 failure regarding an excessive engine oil leak and an empty dipstick further suggests the vehicle has been operated under neglected conditions without adequate service intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front-end suspension and drivetrain. The tester flagged slight play in the offside front wheel and a deteriorated CV boot in late 2025, which indicates wear in the bearings or joints that will require imminent attention. Given the history of major exhaust leaks and parking brake inefficiency in 2024, the entire braking system and exhaust manifold should be checked for corrosion and structural integrity. The recurring ABS and MIL faults require a professional diagnostic scan to ensure these are not masking deeper, more expensive engine management system failures.
