2014 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · CV64 AEU

The 2014 Isuzu D-Max demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT, which was passed on 2026-01-20 at 100,475 miles with no defects recorded. However, a prior failure on 2026-01-14 at 100,473 miles—just six days earlier—remains unexplained, as no defects were logged. This suggests either a procedural error or a minor technical issue resolved between tests. No recurring mechanical faults are evident in the history, and the vehicle has maintained compliance without critical failures. The mileage progression shows a consistent annual average of ~8,373 miles, aligning with typical usage for its age. A notable gap between 2023-03-06 (88,698 miles) and 2025-01-28 (93,351 miles) reflects 4,653 miles over 19 months, indicating lighter use during that period. The subsequent jump to 100,475 miles by 2026-01-20—7,124 miles in 11 months—suggests increased activity, which could accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. The absence of defects in all passed tests implies diligent maintenance, though the failed test raises questions about its cause. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, given the age and mileage. Inspect brake discs for warping or uneven wear, as well as the exhaust system for corrosion, which is common in older diesel models. The lack of structural rust or major mechanical advisories is reassuring, but the January 2026 failure warrants inquiry into its resolution. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on these areas to confirm the MOT records accurately reflect the vehicle’s condition.
