2014 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · CV63 WSY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding suspension wear. While it passed the most recent test in February 2026 at 132,730 miles, the tester identified six separate advisories related to the front and rear suspension assemblies. These include worn anti-roll bar pins, bushes, ball joint play, and worn shock absorber bushes. The accumulation of these multiple mechanical faults suggests the suspension components are reaching the end of their functional life and will require proactive replacement soon. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typically used twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Between February 2025 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 11,199 miles, while the previous year between February 2024 and February 2025 saw 9,181 miles recorded. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has been under constant operation, which explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and ball joints noted in the MOT records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The record shows a recurring issue with the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint, which failed the test in February 2025 after being flagged for a deteriorated dust cover in 2024. Given that the 2026 test now reports play in multiple ball joints and anti-roll bars, the entire front assembly is failing prematurely. Additionally, both front tyres were noted as being close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, indicating potential alignment issues or simply the need for immediate replacement.
