2015 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · MM15 MLL

The most recent MOT on 2025-07-16 shows the vehicle failed due to exhaust emissions exceeding limits and recurring corrosion on both rear brake pipes. The same brake pipe issues were noted in the prior MOT (2025-07-16) and earlier entries, indicating a persistent problem. The 2025 failure for emissions suggests potential engine or exhaust system degradation, which could signal underlying mechanical stress or maintenance neglect. Recurring issues include brake pipe corrosion, tyre wear, and brake component wear. Brake pipe corrosion (1.1.11 (c)) appears in four of the last five MOTs, suggesting ongoing exposure to moisture, road salt, or inadequate maintenance. Tyre wear (5.2.3 (e)) was consistently flagged from 2022 to 2023, pointing to possible alignment, suspension, or driving habit issues. Brake pad wear (1.1.13 (a) (ii)) and fluctuating brakes (1.2.1 (e)) also reappear, highlighting potential brake system deterioration. The trend shows no clear improvement in critical areas. While some issues like shock absorber damping (2024) and wheel bearing play (2023) were addressed, the persistence of brake pipe corrosion and emissions failures indicates unresolved risks. The vehicle’s mileage (69,748 miles over 11 years) aligns with average usage, suggesting neither excessive wear nor prolonged underuse.
