2015 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · FE15 JSX

The 2015 Isuzu D-Max presents a stable and recently improving maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 August 2025 at 47,785 miles passed with zero defects recorded, a clean bill of health that contrasts sharply with the recurring advisories of previous years. This suggests the previous owner addressed the underlying mechanical issues rather than simply relying on the MOT's tolerance for minor wear. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle. Between the 2021 test at 39,524 miles and the 2025 test at 47,785 miles, the vehicle accumulated just 8,261 miles over four years, averaging roughly 2,065 miles annually in that window. Earlier years show slightly higher use, with 2,484 miles added between July 2022 and July 2023. Such low annual mileage raises the possibility of long periods standing still, which can cause tyre perishing and seized components, exactly the pattern the record reveals. The 2021 and 2022 tests both flagged perished rear tyres, and the 2021 test additionally noted front tyres worn to the legal limit on both sides. Perished rubber on a low-mileage vehicle is a classic sign of prolonged static storage rather than wear from use. A buyer should carefully inspect all four tyres for sidewall cracking and date stamps, and budget for a full set if the current tyres predate the 2025 test. The front wheel bearings and steering rack inner joints were flagged repeatedly between 2021 and 2024, with slight play noted on both sides across multiple consecutive tests. The clean 2025 result implies these were repaired, but a buyer should still check for any knocking from the front end over speed bumps and listen for uneven tyre wear that could indicate residual steering geometry issues. The 2022 advisory regarding a damaged nearside rear tyre sidewall also warrants a close visual inspection of that specific area for any repaired or replaced tyre.
