2014 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · LS63 LSE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a gradual progression of suspension wear and minor structural corrosion. The most recent test in December 2025 at 165,510 miles identified an inoperative offside registration plate lamp and a worn bush on the nearside rear shock absorber. While the vehicle passed, the recurrence of minor electrical faults and suspension issues across the last three tests suggests that components are now reaching the end of their service life due to high usage. At 165,510 miles, this D-Max has covered a significant distance, averaging a roughly 13,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent use, with a 4,412-mile gap between the January 2025 and December 2025 tests, and another 7,090 miles between late 2023 and early 2025. This high annual mileage places considerable strain on the drivetrain and chassis components, which explains the frequent flagging of-related defects in the record. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the corrosion area around the offside rear seat belt anchorage noted in January 2025. While the tester deemed it not excessive at the time, surface rust on these vehicles often progresses into deeper structural failure if left untreated. The suspension also requires close scrutiny; the 2022 test highlighted multiple issues with ball joints, anti-roll bar bushes, and tyres, which have evolved into the worn shock absorber bush seen in the latest report. The mechanical history also indicates a pattern of poor tyre management. In 2022, all four tyres showed uneven wear or were near legal limits, suggesting an alignment issue or worn shocks. Given the high mileage and the history of suspension-component play, the buyer should verify the current condition of all rubber bushings and steering linkages to ensure the vehicle does not require immediate, costly investment shortly after purchase.
