2019 Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L Diesel · GH19 OBV

Corrosion of the braking system and recurring wheel bearing issues define the mechanical profile of this Isuzu D-Max, with the most recent MOT passed on 31 October 2025 following a failure just days prior. The record shows a progressive deterioration in the condition of the brake pipes, which were flagged as corroded and covered in grease or other material on both the nearside and offside front, as well as the offside rear, in both the October 2025 failure and subsequent pass. This follows a history of wheel bearing issues dating back to 2023, which escalated from minor noise and slight play to a major failure in late 2025 due to excessive play and roughness in the offside front bearing. The vehicle has covered 66,351 miles over approximately seven years, representing an average annual accumulation of roughly 9,479 miles. This usage pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests a consistent level of operation rather than heavy commercial use or long periods of stationary storage. From a mechanical standpoint, this mileage level means that while the drivetrain may not be heavily worn, consumable components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and wheel bearings are reaching the stages of life where wear and environmental degradation become more frequent subjects of MOT inspection. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and front-end running gear during a physical inspection and test drive. The repeated advisories regarding corroded brake pipes suggest that the integrity of the hydraulic lines is a mounting concern; a thorough visual inspection of the pipes for surface rust or degradation is necessary, and a test drive should be used to check for any changes in brake pedal feel or pressure. Furthermore, given the history of both nearside and offside front wheel bearing issues, listen closely for any humming, grinding, or droning noises that increase with vehicle speed, and check for any steering pull or vibration through the steering wheel that could indicate remaining play in the hub assemblies. Additional attention should be directed toward the suspension and braking surfaces. The 2023 record noted pitting and scoring on the front brake discs, and the 2022 failure highlighted excessively worn bushes on the rear shock absorbers. During a test drive, pay attention to the vehicle's response to road imperfections; any knocking, clunking, or excessive movement over bumps could indicate that the shock absorber bushes or other suspension linkages require attention. Finally, ensure the front tyres do not show uneven wear patterns, as the 2024 record previously flagged tyres wearing close to the legal limit on their edges, which can often be a symptom of underlying suspension or alignment issues.
