2015 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · BV65 KBY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding front suspension and exhaust components. While it passed the most recent test on 13 May 2026 at 80,222 miles, this followed just one day after a significant failure due to a major exhaust leak at the central silencer and a nearside front wheel bearing with excessive play. The persistence of the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage wear across multiple tests suggests that components in the front-end assembly are undergoing gradual degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between August 2023 at 73,374 miles and May 2026 at 80,222 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 6,850 miles, reflecting steady low-intensity usage. However, the low mileage has not prevented mechanical wear, as evidenced by the wheel bearing issue progressing from slight play in May 2024 at 75,661 miles to a failure point in May 2026. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to ensure the recently repaired wheel bearing and anti-roll bar linkage were replaced correctly rather than merely adjusted. The nearside front tyre was flagged as smooth in the latest test, indicating immediate replacement is required and potential alignment issues that could be causing uneven wear. Additionally, the exhaust system should be inspected to confirm the major silencer leak has been fully rectified and the chassis should be checked for surface corrosion, which is common on utility vehicles of this age despite the lower mileage.
