2018 Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L Diesel · EL62 ATE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in January 2026 with 91,990 miles and no recorded defects. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of significant wear during mid-2025 that required immediate corrective action. While the latest result is clean, the previous failure in May 2025 indicates a stage where multiple safety components reached the end of their service life simultaneously before being addressed. At 91,990 miles over eight years, the Isuzu has averaged approximately 11,500 miles per year. This is consistent with typical usage for a commercial utility vehicle of this age. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 7,500 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 5,900 miles since the last inspection. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used consistently, which generally prevents moisture-related degradation of seals and rubber components. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The history reveals recurring issues with front wheel bearings, which were noted in both 2023 and 2025, alongside a track rod end that developed play. Furthermore, the 2025 failure due to thin brake pads and pitted discs suggests that the front braking assembly is under high stress. It is essential to verify that the wheel bearings and steering components were replaced properly and to check for any remaining play in the steering, which may indicate wider suspension wear in the bushes or joints.
