2019 Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L Diesel · DX69 VEH

High annual mileage and a history of wear-related advisories define the mechanical profile of this Isuzu D-Max, though the most recent test on 17 April 2025 showed no recorded defects. While the vehicle has maintained a passing status since its initial records, the trend shows intermittent issues with consumables and suspension components, specifically regarding tyre wear and shock absorber bushes. The transition from advisories in 2022 and 2023 to a clean certificate in 2025 suggests that these specific components have likely been addressed, but the underlying pattern of wear remains a factor for consideration. The vehicle has covered 101,452 miles over approximately seven years, representing an average annual accumulation of roughly 14,493 miles. This usage level is higher than the typical UK average for a vehicle of this age and indicates consistent, heavy road use rather than long periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this higher mileage profile increases the probability of accelerated wear on drivetrain components, suspension linkages, and braking systems. Prospective buyers should account for the fact that components subject to friction and physical stress will reach the end of their service life more rapidly under this usage pattern. Specific attention should be directed toward the suspension and steering systems during a physical inspection and test drive. Previous advisories noted slight play in the offside front wheel bearing and worn bushes on both the nearside and offside rear lower shock absorbers. On a test drive, listen for any rhythmic humming or growling noises from the front end that increase with vehicle speed, which could indicate wheel bearing degradation. Additionally, pay close attention to the rear suspension when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps; any knocking, clunking, or excessive bouncing may suggest that the shock absorber bushes or the dampers themselves require replacement. Tyre condition and alignment also warrant a thorough check, given the recorded history of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn unevenly on the edges. Uneven wear on the tread edges often points to issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. During the test drive, check for any significant pulling to one side or steering wheel instability, which could indicate that the previous tyre wear issues were symptomatic of underlying steering or suspension faults. Ensure that all four tyres show even wear across the tread width to confirm that the alignment issues noted in 2022 and 2023 have been fully rectified.
