2023 Isuzu D-MAX DL40 Auto 1.9L Diesel · FN73 HCF

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 25 August 2026. Given the age of the vehicle, this represents a stable start to its official testing history, although the presence of advisories indicates that the vehicle is now entering a phase where primary wear and tear components require attention. There are no recorded failures, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a basic legal standard, but the current advisories mark the beginning of a necessary maintenance cycle for the braking system. The recorded mileage of 110,736 miles is exceptionally high for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 36,912 miles per year. Such rapid mileage accumulation suggests intensive commercial use or extensive long distance commuting. From a mechanical perspective, this level of usage accelerates the degradation of the drivetrain, automatic transmission internals, and suspension components. A prospective buyer must consider that the vehicle has undergone significantly more stress than a typical example of this year, making a comprehensive service history critical to verify that oil and filter intervals were strictly adhered to. Specific attention must be paid to the front braking system due to the advisories regarding worn, pitted, and scored brake discs and thin brake pads. Pitting and scoring can lead to reduced braking efficiency and increased noise. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for high pitched squealing or grinding sounds and feel for any vibration or shudder through the brake pedal during deceleration, which would indicate warped or heavily scored discs. These components are nearing the end of their service life and should be budgeted for immediate replacement to ensure safety and performance. Beyond the brakes, the high mileage necessitates a thorough inspection of the chassis and suspension. The buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or cracking, as the heavy load bearing nature of the D-Max combined with high mileage often leads to premature wear. It is also essential to check the automatic transmission fluid condition and verify that the drivetrain has been serviced according to the manufacturer high mileage schedule. Finally, a physical inspection of the tyre treads and sidewalls is advised to ensure there is no uneven wear, which could point to underlying alignment or suspension geometry issues.
