2014 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · EY14 LLR

The 2014 Isuzu D-Max remains roadworthy as of the 21 July 2025 MOT test at 92,468 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no advisories across recent examinations, though the DVSA log includes fail entries on 19 February 2024 at 90,938 miles and 28 February 2023 at 88,136 miles that listed no faults. Those anomalies suggest procedural or administrative errors rather than a worsening mechanical state, given the immediate passes that followed with identical mileages and zero defects. Assessed against its twelve-year age, the recorded mileage of 92,468 equates to roughly 7,700 miles per year, a typical rate for this pickup. The odometer moved from 88,136 miles at the late February 2023 failure to 88,161 miles at the 9 March 2023 pass, a mere eleven miles in eleven days, then climbed to 90,938 miles by 19 February 2024, and reached 92,468 miles by July 2025. That final stretch added only 1,530 miles over seventeen months, indicating reduced recent use or prolonged standing. The sparse history carries no advisories, so previous keepers appear to have sustained test compliance, but the unexplained fails warrant verification. A buyer should still commission a hands-on inspection of core components despite the clean digital record. On a D-Max of this era, suspension bushes and coil springs require close checks for cracking or collapse, while brake discs and calipers must be examined for binding and wear. Structural integrity around chassis rails and mountings demands scrutiny for corrosion, especially given likely agricultural or commercial duty. The tester never flagged exhaust emissions or advisories, yet the anomalous fail entries mean verifying the true test lineage via DVSA prior to sale is prudent. Reduced mileage in the last period may have allowed tyres to develop flat spots and fluids to degrade, so physical assessment of consumables remains essential.
