2013 Isuzu D-MAX Yukon D/C Intercooler TD 2.5L Diesel · LS63 AXU

The vehicle holds a current MOT pass dated 19 September 2025 at 164 472 miles, but the test recorded three advisories: front prop shaft joint wear (6.1.7 (c)(i)), an inoperative offside registration plate lamp (4.7.1 (b)(i)) and a non‑excessive oil leak (8.4.1 (a)(i)). The pattern of defects shows a stable condition rather than improvement; the same prop shaft joint has been noted at 138 600 miles in August 2023, again at 151 084 miles in September 2024 and persists at the latest test. Oil leak advisories appear in both 2024 and 2025, indicating an unresolved seepage issue. Earlier failures such as rear fog lamp faults and tyre tread deficiencies have been rectified, yet the recurring wear items suggest ongoing maintenance requirements. Mileage accumulation is aggressive for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 12 650 miles per year. The log shows a steady rise from 54 358 miles in August 2016 to the current 164 472 miles, with only a modest dip in 2020 (8 463 miles increase) likely reflecting pandemic‑related reduced usage. The annual MOT intervals are consistent, providing a clear yearly snapshot of wear progression. This high utilisation rate implies greater stress on consumables and mechanical components than a typical low‑mileage example of the same age. A prospective buyer should inspect the front prop shaft joint for excessive play, examine the oil system for the source of the leak and verify there are no signs of contamination, and test the offside registration plate lamp for full operation. Tyre condition warrants close scrutiny: front tyres show edge wear approaching the legal limit, rear tread depth has previously fallen below 1.6 mm and should be measured now. Suspension components, particularly the nearside front lower arm ball joint and rear shock absorber bushes, need assessment for looseness or worn bushes. The rear fog lamp circuit should be functional, and any evidence of corrosion or rust on the chassis or underbody should be noted, as the high mileage and oil leak history increase the likelihood of structural degradation.
