2022 Isuzu D-MAX DL20 Auto 1.9L Diesel · FN72 XOB

The most recent MOT test conducted on 4 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Given that the preceding test in October 2025 was also clean, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable. There are no recorded failure points or advisories, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and currently meets all DVSA roadworthiness requirements without any immediate mechanical concerns. The recorded mileage of 8,857 miles is remarkably low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 2,214 miles per year. While this suggests minimal wear on the engine, gearbox, and drivetrain components, such low usage often indicates the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. This usage profile shifts the mechanical risk from wear-and-tear degradation to issues associated with inactivity and environmental exposure. Due to the low mileage and clean MOT history, the physical inspection should focus on age-related deterioration rather than mechanical failure. It is essential to examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or ozone cracking, as tyres can degrade and lose structural integrity over time even if the tread remains deep. The braking system should be scrutinized for surface corrosion on the discs and the potential for binding calipers, which can occur when a vehicle is left standing for extended periods. During a test drive, listen for any unusual grinding or shuddering that may indicate uneven disc wear or seized sliders. Further attention must be paid to the vehicle's fluid health and electrical systems. Engine oil and coolant degrade based on calendar time as well as mileage, so the service history should be verified to ensure intervals have been followed regardless of the low distance covered. The 12V battery should be tested for health and charge retention, as infrequent use can lead to premature battery failure. Finally, a thorough inspection of the chassis and underbody is recommended to ensure that standing moisture has not led to premature surface corrosion, particularly in the recessed areas of the frame.
