2013 Isuzu D-MAX Eiger D/C Intercooler TD 2.5L Diesel · SB13 PXL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 26 May 2026 at 135,625 miles shows a pass following a failure just five miles prior. That previous failure identified a split nearside front drive shaft boot, defective headlamp lenses, and wear on the central rear leaf spring shackle. While the immediate faults were addressed, the recurring nature of mechanical component failures suggests that the owner only replaces parts once they reach the point of failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per year. Between the May 2024 test at 120,994 miles and the May 2025 test at 128,257 miles, the vehicle covered 7,263 miles, followed by another 7,368 miles leading up to the June May 2026 test. This steady accumulation indicates regular use, which has accelerated the wear on the heavy suspension and braking components noted throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the chassis and underside to assess the extent of the corrosion flagged in May 2024. The tester noted corrosion across the chassis, steering, and suspension, alongside corroded rear brake pipes. The May 2025 failure was particularly telling, listing a fractured offside rear leaf spring and excessive wear across all front ball joints, anti-roll bars and suspension arms. These systemic suspension failures suggest the entire front geometry is under significant stress. The buyer should verify that the recent drive shaft boot replacement was executed correctly and check for new leaks or structural degradation that the MOT tester may have missed.
