2016 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · CF66 LTU

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding front-end suspension and braking components. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 71,164 miles passed, the tester identified several new defects that had not been addressed in previous years. The appearance of a corroded offside front coil spring and pitted front brake discs indicates that long-term wear is now reaching a critical stage requiring replacement, moving beyond the minor advisories of slight play seen in earlier records. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 50,266 miles and the October 2025 test at 71,164 miles, the vehicle covered over 20,000 miles. This rate suggests the truck is still subjected to regular use, yet the low annual mileage often contributes to the accelerated corrosion noted on brake components and springs due to surface rust buildup being seen in the latest inspection. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front wheel bearings and suspension, as slight play has been flagged in three consecutive tests since 2023. The persistent judder in the front brakes and the transition from thin pads to pitted discs suggest the previous owner has deferred preventative maintenance rather than performing it. The corroded offside front coil spring is a structural risk that must be replaced immediately to prevent catastrophic failure, and the enclosed calipers should be checked for seized pistons since the tester could not visually inspect the pads.
