2015 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · RK65 MXP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding suspension and wheel assemblies. While it passed its latest test in August 2025 at 124,903 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior where multiple critical defects were identified. The recurring issues with the front wheel bearings and the excessive wear on the suspension ball joints indicate that the front-end geometry is reaching the end of its functional life and requires proactive attention. At 124,903 miles, this eleven-year-old D-Max has averaged approximately 11,355 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent annual mileage, with roughly 17,500 miles covered between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 8,700 miles in the year leading up to August 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which explains the progressive wear on rubber-mounted components and mechanical joints. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure all flagged faults have been properly rectified. The repeated failures of ball joints and anti-roll bar bushes suggest the entire steering assembly is under significant stress. Particular attention should be paid to the front wheel bearings, as the 'slight play' noted in 2025 is the early stage of mechanical failure that will eventually require expensive hub replacement. The rear shock absorbers should also be checked for further bushing perishation, as they have been a persistent advisory concern across the last two testing cycles.
