2018 Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L Diesel · NX68 YHA

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend characterized by recurring mechanical failures and a reactive repair strategy. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 102,978 miles, it failed just one mile prior due to serious issues including an inoperative engine management light and insufficient handbrake travel. The persistence of corroded brake pipes and worn wheel bearings across multiple years suggests that the previous owners only addressed the absolute minimum requirements necessary to pass the MOT, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At approximately eight years old with 102,978 miles, this D-Max has covered a higher than average distance, averaging roughly 12,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent use, with a 13,521-mile interval between October 2023 and 2024, and another 12,202 miles covered in the following year. This high-mile-age ratio places significant stress on heavy-duty components and the drivetrain, which is reflected in the accelerating degradation of the front anti-roll bar and wheel bearings noted in the record. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and front assembly. The record consistently flags corrosion on the nearside and offside front brake pipes from 2023 through to 2025, indicating a risk of fluid leaks if these lines have not been replaced. The front wheel bearings and anti-roll bar linkages have appeared as recurring faults, suggesting the suspension geometry is reaching the end of its service life. Furthermore, the pattern of uneven tyre wear in 2023 and 2025 points to persistent alignment issues or worn suspension components that will continue to cause premature tyre failure if not rectified.
