2013 Isuzu D-MAX S/C Intercooler TD 2.5L Diesel · CV13 KHR

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently poor based on the most recent MOT test of 2025-12-03 at 149,010 miles, which has been worsening in severity compared to the 2024-11-27 test at 144,482 miles. The tester flagged multiple critical issues, including a corroded offside brake pipe in the 2025 test, a failed front steering rack inner joint in the 2025 test, and a corroded front sub-frame in the 2025 test. These recurring faults indicate a worsening trend of mechanical wear rather than a stable maintenance pattern. The vehicle has experienced significant structural degradation, including corrosion of the front sub-frame and offside brake pipe, which suggests the owner may have been neglecting routine inspections. The mileage pattern shows a rapid accumulation of 149,010 miles over 11 years, which is consistent with a typical age of 13 years for this model. This high mileage correlates with the severity of the faults recorded in the 2025 test, where the tester found the offside brake pipe corroded and the front sub-frame weakened. The lack of a clean 2024-2025 test record suggests that the vehicle has not undergone a full MOT in the last 18 months, leaving a gap in the maintenance history that the buyer must address to mitigate risk. Given the worsening trend of corrosion and structural damage, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for the presence of rust on the brake pipes and sub-frame, and for the integrity of the steering rack inner joint. The presence of grease or other materials covering the corroded components in the 2025 test indicates that the vehicle has been exposed to moisture and heat, which accelerates corrosion. A thorough visual inspection is required to confirm whether these defects are superficial or represent serious structural risks that could lead to sudden failure. The buyer must also verify the condition of the front sub-frame and offside brake pipe, as these components are the most likely to fail under the current wear pattern, and the vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently in the poor category.
