2016 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · CX16 HKA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical wear-related issues. While the most recent test in November 2024 at 84,869 miles passed, several advisories emerged that were not present in previous clean records. The transition from zero-defect tests in 2022 to multiple advisories in the latest inspection suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where rubber components and fluid lines require proactive attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 10,755 miles between September 2023 and November 2024, which represents a period of higher usage compared to the historical average. The low total mileage of 84,869 miles is generally positive for the drivetrain and engine, but the intervals between tests indicate the vehicle likely sits for long periods, which can lead to age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking system and suspension. The November 2024 test flagged corrosion on the nearside rear upper brake pipe and its ferrule, alongside external damage to both rear shock absorber casings. Corrosion on brake lines can lead to sudden failure if not treated, and damaged shock absorber casings often precede imminent seal leaks. The central front windscreen damage should also be monitored to ensure the crack does not propagate and eventually obstruct the driver's field of vision.
