2014 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · DX14 UYV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent failure to address developing mechanical defects. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 60,515 miles passed, it flagged a non-excessive oil leak and slight play in both nearside and offside front wheel bearings. These wheel bearing issues have persisted since the October 2024 test, indicating that the previous owner has ignored these component faults rather than replacing them across multiple annual cycles. At twelve years of age, the recorded mileage of 60,515 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a gap of 6,536 miles covered between October 2024 and October 2025. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from accelerated corrosion on components that do not frequently move, evidenced by the 2022 failure involving a heavily corroded brake disc and a major exhaust leak, suggesting the vehicle may have sat for long periods or undergone short trips. A buyer must personally inspect the front axle to determine the extent of the wheel bearing wear, as the recurring reports over three years suggest imminent failure. The persistent oil leak noted in 2024 and 2025 requires a thorough inspection to identify if it originates from a front seal or a sump cover gasket. Additionally, the exhaust system should be checked to ensure the repair following the 2022 failure was robust and free from structural corrosion at the mounting points.
