2018 Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L Diesel · MJ55 ENG

The Isuzu D-MAX presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 87,529 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across every available examination. Mileage progression shows a consistent and plausible annual accumulation for an eight-year-old pickup. The record opened at 25,572 miles on 25 May 2021, rose to 48,939 by 12 May 2022, then 62,224 on 1 September 2023, 75,764 on 30 August 2024, and 87,529 by August 2025. The early gap between the 2021 and 2022 entries covers roughly 23,000 miles in under twelve months, after which the rate settled near 12,000 to 13,000 miles per year. No standing periods or erratic jumps appear beyond that initial phase, and the DVSA data carries no advisories or failures at any stage. A clean MOT slate does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. The D-MAX chassis and subframes should be checked for structural corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the rear crossmember, as salt exposure and off-road use accelerate rust unseen by annual tests. Examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers for degradation consistent with 87,000 miles of mixed use. Verify the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, and confirm tyre tread depth and sidewall condition across all four corners. The absence of recorded defects implies the prior owner maintained the vehicle to test standard, yet consumable wear and hidden fatigue remain outside the MOT scope and require hands-on assessment before purchase.
