2019 Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L Diesel · PX69 LUP

The 2019 Isuzu D-MAX presents a generally sound mechanical picture, though the most recent MOT on 9 December 2025 at 48,301 miles reveals a cluster of minor advisories that suggest routine inspection intervals may have slipped. The tester flagged a missing rear registration plate lamp, an insecure lamp unit, central front brake pads wearing thin, and slight play in the nearside front wheel bearing. None of these are serious failures, but the combination of a worn wheel bearing and thin brake pads on the same front corner points to a vehicle that has been used hard without recent under-chassis attention. The maintenance trend is stable rather than deteriorating sharply, yet it is not improving either. The 2024 test at 41,004 miles also recorded advisories for worn anti-roll bar bushes on both front sides and a missing registration plate lamp, indicating that small defects are accumulating between tests rather than being rectified promptly. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable. The vehicle covered roughly 7,258 miles between the December 2022 pass at 23,046 miles and the December 2024 test at 41,004 miles, then added 7,297 miles in the following twelve months to reach 48,301 miles by December 2025. This equates to approximately 6,900 miles per year over the vehicle's seven-year life, which is typical for a working pick-up. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record. The annual December testing pattern suggests a single owner or fleet keeper who maintains a regular, if not meticulous, service rhythm. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and braking components. The repeated appearance of worn anti-roll bar bushes in 2024 and a front wheel bearing with slight play in 2025 indicates the front end has taken a steady toll. Check the nearside front hub for roughness by rotating the wheel with the vehicle raised, and inspect the offside front bearing for symmetry. Examine the condition of the front subframe and lower suspension arms for stone damage and corrosion, as these are common on D-MAX models used on unmade roads or in winter conditions. The central front brake pads were noted as wearing thin at the last test, so verify whether they have been replaced since December 2025 or whether the vehicle is now running on the original set approaching the wear indicator. Rear brake condition is not documented in the record, so a visual check of the rear discs, pads, and calipers for binding or uneven wear is advisable. The rear registration plate lamp fault is trivial but worth confirming as repaired, since repeated advisories on the same electrical item can point to a loose wiring connector or corroded bulb holder rather than a simple bulb failure.
