2018 Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L Diesel · FY18 AVO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on August 19, 2025 at 32,829 miles recorded minor advisories regarding a defective nearside rear indicator lens and a cut to the nearside rear tyre. These follow a failure in July 2024 due to illegal front tyres and ineffective wipers, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they result in an MOT failure. At 32,829 miles over eight years, this D-Max has covered a low average of approximately 4,104 miles per year. The mileage progression is consistent, with a gap of roughly 3,800 miles between July 2024 and August 2025. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the infrequent frequency of use can lead to the degradation of rubber components and flat-spotting tyres, which is evidenced by the uneven wear noted on the inner edges during the July 2022 test. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment geometry, as the 2022 test at 24,534 miles flagged both front tyres worn on the inner edge, which often indicates incorrect tracking or worn control arm bushes. The nearside rear coil spring replacement in July 2023 at 27,133 miles also requires verification to ensure the vehicle sits level without signs of further sagging in associated hardware. Additionally, the non-excessive oil leak reported in 2022 warrants a physical check of the engine bay to ensure the leak has not progressed despite the low mileage.
