2017 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · SC17 VUK

The vehicle currently meets the roadworthiness requirement based on the most recent MOT test on 18 June 2026, which was passed at 100,524 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, as the vehicle has maintained a consistent performance record through the 2023-2024 testing period. While the most recent inspection at 100,524 miles was passed, the history indicates a lack of consistent upkeep for the rear fog lamp and direction indicator, which are critical components for safety. Regarding the mileage context, the vehicle demonstrates a steady accumulation of 11,169 miles per year, which is typical for a 2017 model. However, this pattern is disrupted by significant gaps in the 2024-2025 testing, where the car failed on 12 December 2024 at 95,377 miles due to an exhaust leak. This gap suggests that the owner did not maintain the vehicle at the same speed or speed limit as during the earlier 2023-2024 tests, potentially exposing the car to increased risk of mechanical failure during a longer period of inactivity. The buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear, specifically focusing on the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system. The MOT record flags binding rear brakes and a corroded brake pipe, which are serious indicators of wear that require professional assessment. Additionally, the failure of the rear fog lamp and direction indicator indicates a lack of regular maintenance for these components, which could lead to dangerous conditions if the car is driven for extended periods. The overall roadworthiness is therefore conditional and dependent on the buyer's ability to identify and address these specific faults before the vehicle is used again.
