2022 Isuzu D-MAX DL40 1.9L Diesel · CX22 UES

The Isuzu D-Max currently holds a clean bill of health following the successful pass on 23 May 2025 at 35,361 miles. While the vehicle failed its initial inspection three days prior on 20 May 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical or administrative error rather than a mechanical failure. The maintenance trend is stable, as the vehicle transitioned from a failed status to a pass without any documented repairs, indicating that the underlying mechanical condition remains sound and free of persistent faults. The vehicle has covered 35,361 miles over its four-year lifespan, averaging approximately 8,840 miles annually. This usage pattern is consistent with typical light-duty operation for a utility vehicle of this class. The mileage accumulation appears steady, with no evidence of long periods of inactivity or excessive high-mileage strain that would prematurely accelerate wear on the drivetrain or chassis. Given the limited MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on the inherent vulnerabilities of the D-Max platform. You must check the underside for signs of surface corrosion on the chassis rails and crossmembers, as these areas are prone to oxidation in UK climates. Inspect the suspension bushes and leaf springs for signs of heavy loading or off-road fatigue, and verify that the braking system shows even wear across all four discs. Although the MOT record provides a clean snapshot, a thorough visual assessment of the drivetrain and steering components is necessary to confirm that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard beyond the minimum requirements of the annual test.
