2017 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · SC17 VUE

The vehicle currently meets the roadworthiness requirement for 2026, but the maintenance trend is not stable; it is deteriorating rather than improving. The most recent test on 2026-02-05 was passed at 161,738 miles, yet the vehicle has failed twice on the same MOT date, 2026-02-03, indicating a consistent failure to maintain the standard. This pattern of consecutive failures at high mileage suggests that the vehicle has suffered from a progressive wear of critical components, particularly the suspension and braking systems, rather than a series of isolated minor issues. Mileage accumulation has been rapid, with the vehicle aged roughly 9 years and accumulated 161,738 miles. This density is concerning given the vehicle's age, as it implies a lack of sufficient use or a prolonged period of inactivity that would normally slow down wear. The gap between the 2026-02-03 and 2026-02-05 tests is negligible, confirming that the vehicle has not been adequately serviced since the initial 2026-02-05 test. This rapid growth in mileage correlates directly with the failure of the rear tyre tread, which has fallen below the 1.6mm requirement, and the heavy corrosion of the front bumper support cross member, which may compromise safety. Given the recurring faults and the structural integrity concerns, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for binding brakes, worn suspension bushes, and corrosion on the rear vehicle structure. The history indicates that the rear towbar and front bumper cross member are heavily corroded, which could lead to a failure if the vehicle is driven in poor weather conditions or if the suspension is not maintained. The buyer should verify the condition of the rear tyres, the suspension bushings, and the brake discs, as the failure of these components at this mileage level suggests that the vehicle may require immediate and costly repairs before it can be safely driven.
