2021 Isuzu D-MAX DL20 1.9L Diesel · CF21 OXR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in pre-test preparation standards. While it passed the most recent MOT on May 6, 2026 at 18,210 miles, it initially failed the inspection due to multiple safety defects. This shift from a clean record in previous years to a failure involving wiper blades and tyres suggests that basic consumable items were not addressed prior to the annual testing requirement. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent but infrequent use, moving from 11,702 miles in June 2024 to 15,085 miles by May 2025. This low mileage typically indicates less mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain components; however, it often leads to the accelerated degradation of rubber-based components due to age, which is evidenced by the issues found in the 2026 test. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the artwork set, as the May 2026 failure flagged both front tyres as worn to the legal limit with edge wear and rear tyres showing signs of cracking or perishing. The perishing of the rear tyres is a direct result of the vehicle standing for long periods rather than distance driven. Additionally, the windscreen wiper blades must be replaced to ensure adequate visibility, and the edge wear on the front tyres necessitates an investigation into car alignment or suspension bush condition to prevent further uneven wear.
