2018 Isuzu D-MAX Blade Heavy oil · DM14 COW

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test on 3 August 2026 at 56,862 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, as the vehicle has repeatedly met DVSA safety standards without the mechanical failures or structural concerns common in high-mileage pickups. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between March 2022 at 30,808 miles and April 2023 at 3,806 miles, which suggests the vehicle sat stationary or saw very minimal use during that period. However, since then, the accumulation has resumed a steady rate, covering over 26,000 miles between the 2023 and 2026 tests. This regular usage is generally beneficial for preventing dry seals and helps manage the degradation of the drivetrain and braking components. Because the MOT record shows no advisories for suspension bushes, brake components, or exhaust corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the absence of hidden wear. A buyer should check the chassis for any signs of surface rust that a standard test might overlook and inspect the leaf springs for uneven sagging. Given the relatively low annual mileage, the condition of the tyres and rubber components in the suspension will be critical indicators to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from perish rot during its periods of inactivity.
