2017 Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L Diesel · PX67 KOJ

The Isuzu D-Max presents a clean and stable MOT history over the past two years, with the most recent test on 6 March 2026 at 78,927 miles passing without any defects. This follows a brief but uneventful anomaly in early 2025, where the vehicle failed a test on 4 March 2025 at 73,949 miles —yet no faults were recorded, suggesting a procedural or administrative issue rather than a mechanical one. The subsequent retest on 12 March 2025 at 73,951 miles passed without incident, indicating no underlying problems requiring correction. The absence of advisories or recurring defects in the last four tests points to consistent upkeep, though the lack of detailed test reports means minor wear—such as tyre tread depth, brake condition, or suspension compliance—cannot be verified beyond the DVSA’s pass/fail threshold. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 8,770 miles per year over its nine-year lifespan. There are no sudden spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that might indicate neglect or infrequent use; the gap between the 2024 test (67,128 miles on 10 June 2024) and the 2025 retest (73,951 miles on 12 March 2025) spans roughly 11 months, covering 6,823 miles —a modest but steady increase. The most recent 12-month interval, from March 2025 (73,951 miles) to March 2026 (78,927 miles) , shows a similar 4,976-mile increment, reinforcing the pattern of regular, moderate usage without excessive strain. Given the absence of recorded defects, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of components prone to silent degradation in high-mileage diesel vehicles. Particular attention should be given to the brake system , including the condition of discs, pads, and hydraulic lines, as well as the suspension geometry —checking for worn bushes, coil spring integrity, and any signs of binding in steering or wheel bearings. The exhaust system and emissions controls should also be verified, especially if the vehicle has been driven predominantly on shorter journeys, which can accelerate soot buildup in diesel particulate filters or catalytic converters. While the MOT history offers reassurance, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic would be prudent to confirm the absence of latent issues in areas not covered by the DVSA test, such as differential wear, timing belt condition, or subtle corrosion in wheel arches or underseal.
