2021 Isuzu D-MAX V-Cross Auto 1.9L Diesel · CE21 GPZ

The 2021 Isuzu D-Max V-Cross Auto currently holds a valid MOT, having passed its most recent test on 7 March 2026 at 108,403 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though the latest pass was not entirely clean. The tester flagged wear in the front anti-roll bar pin or bush and noted that both D bushes displayed slight wear, classified under advisory item 5.3.4 (a) (i). These are not dangerous defects, but they do indicate the vehicle's suspension components are beginning to show age-appropriate fatigue. The record shows no pattern of serious structural or mechanical failures, and the car has consistently passed its MOTs once minor defects were addressed. The mileage accumulation is notably high for a five-year-old vehicle. Between the February 2024 test at 72,380 miles and the March 2025 test at 93,411 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 21,031 miles in just over twelve months. That rate held steady through to March 2026, when the odometer read 108,403 miles, adding a further 14,992 miles in roughly twelve months. This sustained high annual mileage, averaging around 21,681 miles per year, points to prolonged motorway or commercial use rather than light domestic driving. Such usage accelerates wear on consumable components including tyres, brake discs and pads, suspension bushes, and drivetrain mounts, all of which deserve closer scrutiny during any pre-purchase inspection. The recurring advisory items centre on the front suspension's anti-roll bar linkage and D bushes. While these were only flagged in the most recent test, their emergence at just over 108,000 miles is consistent with the vehicle's high mileage profile. A prospective buyer should physically inspect the front subframe and suspension arms for play, knocking, or perished rubber, paying particular attention to the anti-roll bar links and the lower arm D bushes specifically cited by the tester. The rear suspension and axle bushes should also be checked, as high-mileage pickups frequently develop wear in these areas under load. Beyond the suspension advisories, the vehicle's braking system and exhaust warrant attention given the mileage. High motorway use can lead to uneven brake disc wear and binding calipers, while prolonged diesel operation at speed may affect the DPF and emissions system. The 2025 failure for headlamp aim and a non-working rear position lamp suggests minor electrical or adjustment issues were resolved, but a buyer should verify all lighting functions and check for any aftermarket modifications. Overall, the MOT record reflects a well-maintained vehicle with no serious defects, though the high mileage and emerging suspension wear mean a thorough mechanical inspection remains essential before purchase.
