2015 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · EX15 EGY

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness is evident through the most recent three years of testing, following a period of more varied results between 2020 and 2022. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection on 26 May 2026 without any recorded defects, the history shows a previous major failure in January 2022 regarding parking brake efficiency. The record indicates a transition from a period involving brake system issues and windscreen damage to a current state of zero recorded defects, suggesting the mechanical issues identified in earlier tests have been addressed. The recorded mileage of 61,555 miles against an 11-year age profile represents a low annual accumulation of approximately 5,596 miles. This usage pattern is significantly below the typical average for a commercial vehicle of this type, which can imply lighter duty cycles or extended periods of stationary use. From a mechanical perspective, such low mileage means that while major drivetrain components may have relatively low wear, consumables such as rubber seals, suspension bushes, and tyres may be subject to age-related degradation rather than traditional wear-and-tear from high mileage. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition given the specific advisories recorded in 2021. The previous advisory for worn, pitted, or scored front brake discs, alongside the 2022 failure for parking brake efficiency, necessitates a thorough check of the braking performance. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises when applying the brakes and feel for any pedal judder or pulsation, which could indicate uneven disc surfaces. Additionally, the parking brake should be tested on a gradient to ensure it holds the vehicle firmly without excessive travel or slipping. The 2021 advisories regarding tyre cracking, perishing, and worn edges suggest that the vehicle's rubber components have been subject to environmental aging. Although no such advisories appear on the 2026 certificate, a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls for fine cracks and a measurement of the tread depth across the entire width of the tyre is essential. Given the low annual mileage, it is important to verify that the tyres have not reached the end of their functional life due to age despite having sufficient tread depth.
