2021 Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L Diesel · CE70 BJY

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, confirming that the engine, drivetrain, and suspension are structurally sound. However, the maintenance history presents a clear trend of worsening wear, specifically concerning the suspension components and the braking system. The most recent test on 2026-04-02 indicates that the vehicle passed at 82,353 miles with no recorded defects, but this is not a stable baseline. Moving backward to the September 2023 test at 52,000 miles, the tester flagged binding rear brakes and binding suspension bushings, suggesting that the system was not properly maintained prior to the 2026 inspection. This indicates a recurring pattern where the vehicle has experienced significant wear on critical mechanical parts over the last three years, requiring immediate attention to prevent future breakdowns. The mileage accumulation is substantial, with a total of 16,471 miles recorded since the initial test in April 2025. This level of mileage is exceptionally high for a vehicle that is approximately five years old, suggesting that the owner may have driven the car for extended periods without proper care. The gap between the 2025-04-07 test at 79,493 miles and the 2024-02-02 test at 48,384 miles is significant, indicating that the vehicle has undergone rapid mileage accumulation without any documented maintenance steps. This rapid growth suggests that the owner may have prioritized consumption parts (such as tyres or wiper blades) over structural integrity, leading to accelerated wear on suspension bushes and brake components. Given the history of binding brakes and worn suspension bushings, the vehicle carries a high risk of imminent failure if not serviced immediately. The buyer must inspect the vehicle for corrosion on brake discs, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity of the chassis, as these are the most likely areas of concern. A thorough physical inspection is required to verify that the suspension bushings are not cracked or that the brake pads are in good condition. If the suspension is found to be compromised, the vehicle must be towed to a certified workshop for replacement before it can be registered as a valid roadworthy vehicle for commercial use.
