2020 Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L Diesel · KX70 BFP

A persistent issue with the nearside front wheel bearing defines the recent mechanical record, as this component has been flagged with slight play across two consecutive inspections. While the vehicle passed its most recent test on 2025-11-05, the recurrence of this advisory suggests a developing fault that has not yet been rectified. This follows a 2024 failure due to incorrect offside headlamp aim and multiple advisories regarding tyre wear and body damage. The recorded mileage of 37,217 miles over approximately six years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 6,203 miles. This usage pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests a consistent level of operation rather than extreme heavy-duty use or prolonged periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this mileage level typically means that primary drivetrain components should still have significant life, though wear on consumables and suspension bushings will align with standard age-related degradation. Particular attention must be paid to the nearside front wheel bearing during a physical inspection and test drive. A buyer should listen for a rhythmic humming or droning noise that increases in pitch with vehicle speed, particularly when loading the suspension through gentle steering inputs. The previous recording of inner edge wear on both front tyres strongly suggests a potential misalignment of the front axle or worn suspension components, which can lead to accelerated tyre degradation. During the test drive, the steering should be monitored for any pull or instability that would corroborate the previous tyre wear patterns. The physical condition of the nearside mirror casing and the rear light board should be verified against the recorded damage. Finally, ensure the headlamp beam is correctly aligned and that there is no vibration felt through the steering wheel or chassis that would indicate the wheel bearing play has progressed beyond a slight advisory.
