2014 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · CV64 AEJ

The 2014 Isuzu D-Max demonstrates a recent roadworthiness trend that appears stable, as the most recent MOT on 2025-04-04 at 118,078 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, a prior failure on 2024-11-26 at 116,580 miles—also without recorded defects—suggests potential unresolved issues. The vehicle’s maintenance history lacks specific technical details, but the absence of recurring structural or mechanical failures in the latest test indicates the owner likely addressed prior concerns. The pattern of passing and failing without recorded faults raises questions about the consistency of inspections, though the most recent outcome is positive. The vehicle’s mileage of 118,078 miles over 12 years aligns with typical usage, averaging 9,840 miles annually. The MOT history shows a gap of 11,630 miles between the 2022 test (104,923 miles) and the 2023 tests (111,553 miles), followed by a 5,027-mile increase to 116,580 miles by 2024. These intervals suggest regular but not frequent servicing, with no evidence of excessive wear in the recorded tests. The duplication of the 2023-11-24 date for both a pass and failure is unusual and may reflect administrative errors, though the lack of defect codes in either entry implies no critical issues were flagged during those assessments. A buyer should prioritize an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, as these components often degrade over time in vehicles of this age. The exhaust system and brake discs should also be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these are common failure points in older diesel models. While the MOT records show no direct warnings, the 2024 failure without explanation warrants scrutiny of the vehicle’s service history for potential unresolved repairs. No structural rust or major mechanical faults are documented, but the absence of detailed defect reports means a physical examination remains essential.
