2014 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · EY14 LMM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 98,964 miles resulted in a pass following failures for insufficient washer fluid and a deteriorated front registration plate. While these are minor items, the recurring appearance of the registration plate issue across multiple years suggests the owner only addresses faults when they become a failure point during a formal inspection. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 8,250 miles per year which aligns with typical usage figures for a twelve-year-old utility vehicle. Between September 2022 at 80,053 miles and September 2025 at 98,964 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 19,000 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing stationary, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and rubber components, despite the inevitable wear noted in the older records. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the chassis integrity and rear suspension components. The 2023 test at 89,018 miles flagged corrosion on the rear of the chassis that, while not affecting structural rigidity at the time, requires monitoring to ensure it does not progress. Additionally, the 2024 record noted corroded dust covers on both rear shock absorbers. These should be checked for fluid leaks which would indicate the shocks are nearing end of life. The non-excessive oil leak reported in 2023 should also be re-examined to determine if the leak rate has increased over the last 10,000 miles.
