2016 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · KX66 APO

The 2016 Isuzu D-Max’s most recent MOT on 2022-09-28 at 145,416 miles recorded a pass, though a duplicate entry notes a fail on the same date with no defects listed. This inconsistency suggests a possible administrative error, but the absence of recorded faults in prior tests (2019–2021) indicates a stable maintenance trend. No structural corrosion, brake issues, or suspension failures were flagged in the history, implying the vehicle was maintained to meet legal standards. However, the lack of a valid MOT since 2022 raises concerns about its current roadworthiness. Mileage progression shows a sharp increase from 67,641 miles in 2019 to 145,416 by 2022, averaging 14,542 miles annually. This exceeds typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, accelerating wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. The 2020–2021 tests at 110,279 and 133,122 miles, respectively, showed no defects, suggesting the owner prioritized basic upkeep. However, the rapid accumulation of 12,294 miles between 2021 and 2022 may have strained the drivetrain and suspension, warranting closer scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, while the exhaust system’s corrosion resistance is critical given the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity is less concerning due to no recorded rust or frame damage, but the absence of a recent MOT means hidden faults could exist. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is essential to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
